The Malibu Wipeout Recipe

1 part coconut rum. Everyone is familiar with Malibu Rum. It is okay for this cocktail when made by the gallon, but if you want to make a better glass for yourself, we recommend using Koloa Kaua, a much higher-grade coconut rum from Hawaii.

1 part Vodka…. if you want a little less potent use 3/4 shot of Vodka.

2 parts Pineapple juice

2 parts Cranberry juice,

We know of no specific garnish associated with the Malibu Wipeout but it sure looks more festive when we throw in a bunch of orange slices and cherries into the pitcher or cooler.

And it is just that simple. Enjoy on a beautiful warm day with friends or just to treat yourself to a nice summertime cocktail.
