The famous dessert liqueur "Malibu" was first prepared in Barbados based on white (silver) rum and coconut palm extract. Real liqueur is transparent; it is impossible to achieve such transparency at home, because we prepare Malibu from natural ingredients. And where can I get coconut palm extract?! But it’s quite possible to repeat the taste.

Of course, this is a simplified and more budget-friendly recipe, but if you have the opportunity to use white rum instead of vodka, then, without hesitation, choose rum.

Liqueur is used as the main or additional ingredient in many alcoholic cocktails; however, Malibu is also consumed in its pure form with ice added to the glass. The liqueur has a pronounced coconut flavor and a pleasant vanilla aroma. The drink takes a long time to prepare - 17 days.

Let's prepare ingredients for making Malibu coconut liqueur at home. For the first stage you will need vodka and coconut flakes.

Ингредиенты

Vodka - 300 ml

Coconut flakes - 130 g

Coconut milk - 200 ml

Condensed milk - 190 ml

Vanillin - to taste

Рецепт

1. Pour coconut flakes into a wide-necked jar or other convenient container and pour in vodka.

2. Close the jar tightly and put it in a dark place at room temperature for 10 days. The jar needs to be shaken every day. After a while we will see that the coconut shavings have absorbed all the vodka. This is normal, there is no need to add additional alcohol, just continue to shake the contents of the jar every day.

3. After 10 days, place the coconut flakes and vodka on a sieve lined with gauze, and thoroughly squeeze the resulting coconut vodka into a deep bowl.

4. The liquid turned out opaque white and slightly oily.

5. Add coconut milk.

6. And condensed milk, as well as a little vanilla for flavor.

7. Whisk everything so that the condensed milk disperses, and then pour the future liqueur into a tightly closed bottle and put it in the refrigerator to infuse for another 7 days.

8. What about coconut flakes? - After squeezing, the chips are almost dry, they can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container and used for baking.

9. During infusion, the liqueur will separate, this is not scary. You need to shake the bottle, and the drink will become homogeneous again.

10. I tried to make the liqueur more transparent by straining it through several layers of gauze and through a coffee filter, but the drink remained milky in color.

11. From homemade coconut liqueur "Malibu" you can make the popular alcoholic cocktail "Blue Hawaii" and many other drinks.

12. The finished liqueur can be stored in the refrigerator for about 6 months, and since it separates, the liqueur will need to be shaken before use.

13. Bon appetit!
