Malibu coconut liqueur appeared only in the 80s of the last century. But this does not mean that mankind did not know the taste of alcoholic beverages with the aroma of tropical nuts before. For example, on the island of Curacao, a rum drink was produced with the addition of coconut extract and fruit spirits. But the famous white bottle of 21% liquor was born on the Caribbean island of Barbados in the alcohol empire of Pernod Ricard.
What is the secret to making this wonderful matte white drink with sweet notes of walnut pulp? Is it possible to repeat the factory technology at home? To obtain coconut liqueur, the manufacturer synthetically rids real Barbados rum of its inherent pungent odor, adds molasses and saturates with an extract from the pulp of a tropical nut. After that, the drink is infused in oak barrels for one to two years. CanIs it possible to reproduce all industrial technology in your kitchen? Most likely not, but you can still get something remotely similar with great effort.
Here is a description of how to make your own coconut liqueur. Pour a bag (250 g) of coconut flakes in a glass jar with 600 ml of white rum (the same amount of vodka will do). The jar is tightly sealed so that the alcohol does not erode, and it is infused for a week in a dark room. Squeeze the shavings through gauze and use it to make desserts, and pour the filtered liquid into a tall saucepan, add a jar of condensed milk and 400 ml of coconut milk. Beat the mixture with a mixer for 2 minutes at high speeds. We bottle it and insist for another week. After that, the drink is considered ready to drink.
How should coconut liqueur be served and drunk? Since it is sweet enough, it is offered to guests after a meal. It is good accompanied by fruits, desserts, especially with cheesecakes or ice cream. Some people like to drink it in its pure form with coffee. Served "Malibu", like most of these drinks, in a liqueur glass. But this drink gained the greatest fame as part of the famous Pina Colada cocktail.
The prefix "Pina" in the name of the alcoholic shake indicates the need to use pineapple juice. We also need some light rum. How to create this elite cocktail yourself? Malibu coconut liqueur (40 ml), rum (60 ml) and half a glass of pineapple juice are placed in a shaker, choppedice and shake well.
The liquid is poured into a tall glass, garnished with a strawberry and served with a straw.
Of course, coconut liqueur is not only a component of Pina Colada. Other cocktails are also made with it. For example, El Ultimo. For this long drink, you need to mix 10 ml of Malibu, 40 ml of cognac and 130 ml of apple juice. Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes. And here is the recipe for a complex holiday drink that all girls will like - a creamy Pina Colada. In a shaker, mix 30 ml of Malibu coconut liqueur, 15 ml of Amaretto, 50 ml of pineapple juice and 15 ml of milk. Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate and powdered almonds.
