Malibu and Malibu?

Malibu rum has new flavors. and a funny new radio commercial featuring rastafarians giving job advice.

The point is, the classic coconut-pineapple taste that you get from ordering malibu and pineapple. can now be acheived, with much less liquid by having a stiff drink of malibu coconut and malibu pineapple. they also have malibu mango, and i'm not quite sure the world is ready for mango rum. i know they've been increasing in popularity ever since that 1996 win in the pilsbury bake-off. but, i just don't know.

now, a few years i swore off alcohols in the 40 proof range. this meant goodbye girly things like midori and malibu. then i realized you could get most of the taste more of a kick when you just added some vodka. silly me for taking so long to realize that. even the stupid beauty bar knew that, you can get malibu, vodka and a splash of pineapple juice served in a martini glass and a crappy manicure for $10, plus tip. for a better $10 martini and manicure i recommend the lighthouse cafe in hermosa beach on wednesdays.

so here's my new drink idea--not that it's all that new or different.

1 part malibu coconut
1 part malibu pineapple
langers coconut-pineapple juice to taste

this from the person who wouldn't buy a bottle of tequila because i would never finish it, now is relying on owning 2 flavored rums. maybe when i open the school themed bar....
