Description
1
Thaw the orange juice concentrate just enough so it softens and can easily be removed from the can.
2
Pour the partially thawed orange juice concentrate into a blender jar along with the Malibu coconut rum and 50/50 citrus soda.
3
Blend on high speed or select the “liquify” setting, and mix until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
4
Gradually add the crushed ice, about one cup at a time, blending on high speed after each addition until the mixture reaches a thick, smooth consistency.
5
Once the desired consistency is achieved, pour the cocktail into glasses. Optionally, garnish each glass with an orange slice and a cherry for added flair.
6
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of this vibrant summer drink!
Tips for the Perfect Frozen Malibu Sunshine
Adjust Ice for Consistency: Start with two cups of ice and add more if you prefer a thicker, slushier drink.
Experiment with Garnishes: Swap cherries with tropical fruits like pineapple slices or a sprig of mint for an extra pop of color.
Serving Size Variations: For a larger party, simply double or triple the ingredients and blend in batches as needed.
Sip and savor the refreshing flavors of summer with this delicious and easy-to-make cocktail—perfect for relaxing in the sunshine!
