Malibu Milky Dream
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.87 / 5
The Malibu Milky Dream is a creamy, tropical-inspired concoction blending the sweet, nutty flavors of coconut rum with the rich, smooth texture of milk. This drink is typically served in a highball glass, allowing for a generous serving that's both refreshing and indulgent. Despite its simple two-ingredient mix, the Malibu Milky Dream promises a mellow sweetness that can bring a laid-back beach vibe to any setting. Its subtle sweetness and milky base make it a pleasant choice for those who enjoy cocktails that are less intense and more on the soothing side.
