Lasso Summer Fun with Malibu Rum and a Disco Cowgirl Party

Summer is here, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with Malibu Original Rum! Known for its fresh taste of sunshine and smooth coconut flavor, Malibu is the ultimate summer spirit. This July, let’s bring together the best of sunny vibes, disco balls, and a cowgirl party for a night to remember. And, of course, no summer party is complete without a delicious cocktail in hand.

The Sunshine Story of Malibu

The journey of Malibu started in 1978 under the name Coco Rico, but it wasn’t until 1980 that Malibu Rum as we know it today was officially launched. This delightful spirit quickly captivated hearts with its rich flavors and unique taste, embodying an easygoing and fun lifestyle. Originally produced in a distillery on a beach in Barbados, Malibu is now blended and produced mainly in Canada, with some production also taking place in the US and Spain.

Malibu Original is distilled from a sweet syrup refined from sugarcane, making it the perfect base for sweet and tropical cocktails. Its smooth and refreshing coconut flavor has made it a staple in iconic drinks like the Malibu Piña Colada, Malibu Bay Breeze, and the Malibu Frozen Daiquiri.
