Coconut rum has a bit of a reputation. For some people, it’s beach holidays and good times. For others, it’s overly sweet, one-dimensional, and only good for one kind of drink. But here’s the truth — when you use it properly, coconut rum can create some seriously good cocktails.


In this video, I’m sharing five easy coconut rum cocktails that go way beyond the standard Malibu and pineapple serve. These drinks are balanced, flavour-packed, and designed to work at home without complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients. Whether you’re using Malibu or another coconut rum, the key is pairing it properly so you get tropical flavour without sugar overload.


Below you’ll find the full video walkthrough, and underneath that, all five recipes written out clearly so you can make them yourself. If you’re looking for easy rum cocktails to make at home — especially something a little different — you’re in the right place.

I'm proud to have built up friendships and working relationships with all these brands. I don't accept money for one off paid promotions. Instead, my philosophy is that I only use Products & Brands in my content, that I would happily use if I was running a Bar. From there, I then build working relationships with the brands to help them educate and showcase their products to potential customers.
