Updated July 2026.
Malibu flavors are not a TTB class. Official US copy prints Original as white rum with coconut liqueur at 21% ABV; the footer also cites 21%–24% That sits under the 40% US rum floor. Other flavors exist; this page does not rank them. A 1.5-ounce pour at 21% is about 0.53 of one NIAAA drink.
