Shake Up A Storm In The Whitsundays Malibu Bay Breeze Recipe

As summer approaches, we can expect warm weather, humidity, and plenty of time by the pool. To make the most of these sunny days, nothing beats a refreshing cocktail to cool you down and elevate your spirits.
This Malibu Bay Breeze recipe is a delicious tropical cocktail that pairs coconut rum, cranberry and pineapple, making sure to give you all the Whitsunday sultry summer holiday feels.
Let’s start with some ingredients...

Ingredients
2 ounces 100% pineapple juice
1 ½ ounces coconut rum
2 ounces 100% unsweetened cranberry juice*
1 lime wedge

Now for the fun part, time to start shaking!

Instructions
   1. To start, combine the pineapple juice and coconut rum in a glass and give it a stir. Then, fill the glass with ice.
   2. In a shot glass or small pitcher, measure out the unsweetened cranberry juice. Carefully pour the cranberry juice over the ice so it floats on top.
   3. Finish by garnishing with a lime wedge and enjoy your refreshing Whitsundays cocktail!


Top Tips:
   • Use unsweetened cranberry juice – the sugar can affect the density and the order you float the liquid matters.
   • Stir the pineapple and coconut rum in a glass to start. These will stay on the bottom.
   • Finish with the unsweetened cranberry juice, which will float on top (provided you get unsweetened) and stir gently for a swirl effect.
