OUR PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THE MALIBU BAY BREEZE
This Malibu Bay Breeze recipe is sweet, tart and fruity. So a little bit of ice melted can help soften and smoothen the taste profile. But too much and it becomes watery. Which is why our tip is to use large ice cubes that can keep the drink chilled without melting too fast, like it would if you were using smaller ice pieces.
We recommend using fresh juices in many of our drinks. But especially in this one since it makes up so much of the recipe. Fresh juice gives a more vibrant and naturally sweet taste, with the pulp giving a bit of authenticity in the texture.
3. Adjust sweetness to taste
Everyone’s tastes are different. So we suggest you experiment with the sweetness to find your preference. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, try using cranberry cocktail juice, which contains more sugar, or adding more pineapple juice in your drink recipe. For a less sweet cocktail, use unsweetened juice. Or for our pro tip, add a splash of fresh lime juice to balance out the sweetness.
4. Refrigerate your ingredients
We love our drinks cold! Since this drink isn’t shaken, we recommend chilling your ingredients before pouring. This is so the ice doesn’t melt too quickly when cooling down the ingredients in the glass, making for an overall tastier and less-diluted drink.
The Malibu Bay Breeze is intended to have a dazzling layered effect. That’s why we suggest following the order of the recipe when adding in the ingredients, and slowly pouring the juices in with the back of a spoon to create the floating layers. Remember, this can affect the taste. So feel free to gently stir before sipping for a unified flavour or leave it unstirred for a layered drink experience.
