Can I buy a Substitute for Malibu anywhere ? Lidl had a product called Cocobay

masculinist

I'm back from my holidays in Spain . I m
seriously missing the cheap but tasty Pina Coladas on the beach . I made one with Malibu but Malibu is like 24 euro a bottle here and I don't want to have to suffer financially to that extent again .
Google indicates Aldi at some point sold a "so cheeky it's almost fake Malibu" at some point called Cocobay , basically White Rum with coconut flavor ..But I can't find it in the stores .
Do they still sell this or is there anything similar with a cheaper price tag than actual Malibu ?

Just buy run and coconut milk.

The Lidl version, which is stronger, failed to make its appearance this year in the usual cocktail ingredients.

You can make Pina coladas with normal rum though and indeed that's what most people do

Kokomo. Don't know where you'd get in Ireland though.

Next year bring back the Malibu. I cram a litre of Jameson into the suitcase every year. Less than €20 in Spain. €43 in Ireland, and that's supermarket price. I'm sure an off-license is more again.

Dunnes have a sub it's called Cocomo I think.

There is no Malibu used in Pina Coladas.

Just do this recipe, although you might need some more sun and sand to enjoy as much
