Every Friday, Company's Agony Uncle, Mikey Melis, and Lisa The Lush create their very own Ocado cocktail for you to try at the weekend...
Asking around the Company office, we've all tried those classics, Malibu and Coke and Malibu and pineapple, but a Malibu cocktail? Not such an obvious choice! So the MaliBoom-Boom was a new take on an old classic, getting us in the mood for a Caribbean holliday (yes please!)…
LISA THE LUSH SAYS: "The taste of Malibu took me back to my early clubbing days - ah the memories! Not to mention the fact that I felt like I should be sunbathing on a beach somewhere… sweet yet strong and very drinkable, the MaliBoom-Boom will be my new fave drink come summer!"
LISA THE LUSH GIVES THE MALIBOOM-BOOM: 9/10
UNCLE MIKEY SAYS: "I haven't drunk Malibu since 1983 (yes, before you were born!), when I got very drunk on cheap Malibu-cokes while holidaying in Tenerife… So one sip of this brought back all kinds of scary teenage flashbacks (including a Swedish girl called Mia – yes, it was THAT long ago!) Anyway, I digress… Taste-wise, this probably isn't my favourite cocktail in the world (coconut + grapefruit aren't quite top of my flavour-sensation list), but it did bring back a few sunny, and funny, Malibu-fuelled memories!"
UNCLE MIKEY GIVES THE MALIBOOM-BOOM: 6/10
