Today I’m bringing back a long-time favorite cocktail… Malibu Summer Rose Cocktail!
Yesssss!!! Back when I worked at a local surgical center here on the coast of NC, one of my awesome co-workers (Summer Rose!) told me her mom won a contest in the late 1980s for creating a mixed drink with Malibu Rum. She named the cocktail after her… so you know I had to ask for the recipe!
I immediately went home and made it. MERCY!!!!
Delicious is a TOTAL understatement here, friends. 
Summer’s mom, Mrs. Jewel Hanson, won a full-on trip to the Bahamas for this winning cocktail. I MUST meet this woman one day!!! Thank you Mrs. Jewel, as well!
I hope you enjoy this delicious cocktail as much as I have over the years!
Enjoy, and please drink responsibly. Cheers!

Quite nice! However….i felt the peach schnapps dominated too much, so after a think (or two!), added an extra shot of orange juice- much better, then added some passion fruit puree and a splash of lime juice to balance the sweetness and … bingo! Tastes twice as good already (IMHO!).

Mitch Baker says
Can you please use standard parts? not “1 shot (1-1/2 ounces)”
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Mitch, I used the exact recipe that was given to me and that is how I’ve always made it. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Kathleen says
Mitch, it’s a shot or a jigger. I’m assuming you’re from another country and want the measurement? It’s 44ml.
Cassie says
Hi what kind kind of Malibu rum should I use?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Cassie, Malibu coconut rum. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Alex says
Hey thanks for the recipe! Just out of curiosity how much pineapple and orange juice should I use?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hey Alex, the recipe calls to add equal parts pineapple and orange juice after you add the rum and peach schnapps… so enough of each to fill your glass and then top with a splash of grenadine. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Lucy says
Wow this looks great! Can’t wait to try it!
