Make sure the drink is well mixed before serving to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Malibu Coconut Milkshake?

Yes, to create a non-alcoholic version of the Malibu Coconut Milkshake, simply omit the coconut rum and replace it with coconut water or additional milk to compensate for the liquid volume. You can also add coconut extract to enhance the coconut flavor without adding alcohol, making it suitable for all ages and occasions.
