Introducing the refreshing taste of summer with Malibu Strawberry

Coconut rum brand Malibu is adding a juicy new flavour to its core range. Malibu Strawberry will launch in a 70cl format and will be complemented by a Malibu Strawberry Daiquiri ready-to-drink (RTD) 250ml can. The newest members of the Malibu family are introduced as the brand is performing ahead of the total Liqueurs & Specialities category in the Off-Trade and strawberry is the no.1 cocktail flavour preference in the On-Trade .

Made with white rum and bursting with strawberry flavour, the new Malibu Strawberry offers the refreshing taste of summer at any time of year and is a sweet switch from the brand’s signature coconut taste. Helping fruit-lovers do whatever tastes good, Malibu Strawberry offers endless mixing options. Serve it with lemonade and ice garnished with juicy slices of strawberries for the perfect pour, or try a refreshing Strawberry Daiquiri with zesty lime juice, a splash of sugar syrup and a few smashed strawberries.


The brand has also launched a sparkling new addition to its RTD cocktail range. Malibu Strawberry Daiquiri sees white rum expertly mixed with strawberry and lime and offers a convenient on-the-go serve perfect for at-home cocktails or to enjoy outdoors at festivals, picnics with friends and trips to the beach. Malibu Strawberry Daiquiri joins the wider Malibu RTD range which is growing at +16.7 per cent, more than double the pre-mix can category at +6.8 per cent .

“Flavours have helped us recruit new shoppers into the brand as consumers continue to experiment with new flavour profiles," said Liam Murphy, Brand Director at Pernod Ricard UK. "Strawberry spirit variants over-index with young adult shoppers and remains in high demand in the On-Trade, and the launch of Malibu Strawberry will allow us to continue the flavour momentum. It’s the ultimate summer sipper – fruity, fun, and perfect for sharing with friends for that good-vibes-only feeling all year round. We're so excited to add this sweet and refreshing flavour innovation to our existing range.”

Malibu Strawberry (21 per cent ABV) has an RRP of £17.19.

Malibu Strawberry Daiquiri RTD (five per cent ABV) is available at an RRP of £2.40 per can.

Both SKUs can be purchased from Booker

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
