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! Â
I hope you enjoy this delicious cocktail as much as I have over the years!
Enjoy, and please drink responsibly. Cheers!

Love this.. tryin’ it right now…
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!).
Absolutely delicious!
Thanks, Mandy! So glad you enjoyed the cocktail! 🙂
Love fruity cocktails
Spring has not been so nice yet! I was looking up drinks online and came across this beautifully delicious looking cocktail. We went and bought all of the fixings and are going to try rhen today. Can’t wait!!!
We’re finally getting beautiful warm weather here on the coast of NC (thank goodness!). I hope you enjoy the cocktails and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Great hot summer day drink. I think I have a new favorite!
Thanks so much, Vin… cheers! 🙂
Can you please use standard parts? not “1 shot (1-1/2 ounces)”
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! 🙂
Mitch, it’s a shot or a jigger. I’m assuming you’re from another country and want the measurement? It’s 44ml.
Hi what kind kind of Malibu rum should I use?
Hi Cassie, Malibu coconut rum. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Hey thanks for the recipe! Just out of curiosity how much pineapple and orange juice should I use?
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! 🙂
Wow this looks great! Can’t wait to try it!
Summer’s mom knows how to make a great cocktail. It’s SO pretty and I bet it’s too easy to drink 🙂
Yes she does! Thanks Valerie, it was so good! 🙂
What a most awesome Cocktail. Thanks for this, works so well here in UK on a sat summers night BBQ. Looks pretty too….
Thanks so much, Jazz… cheers! 🙂
