Malibu Sunset Cocktail – Fresh family meals

This Malibu Sunset Cocktail tastes as good as it looks. It has the colors of a California sunset and the flavor of a beach vacation. Sunsets on the California coast are fantastic. There’s nothing like watching the sun set over the ocean and paint the waves with streaks of red and gold. This cocktail reproduces those colors with layers of golden pineapple juice and red grenadine.

Batch preparation:

For large groups, prepare a large amount of cocktail in advance. Mix the pineapple juice and Malibu rum in a large pitcher, pour individual portions over ice, and add grenadine just before serving to maintain the layered appearance.

Layering technique:

To achieve the perfect layered look, pour the grenadine slowly and steadily. Using the back of a spoon can help control the pouring and prevent the layers from mixing.
