Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still pretend to be on a beach. For anyone who refuses to wear anything other than short shorts and would rather start the day with a pina colada than a coffee, rum specialists Malibu may have created the perfect product. Who can honestly say that summer has to end, when there are still 1.7 litre cocktail pouches to be drunk?

The new range of squeezy flagons come in four different flavours, meaning that you’ll have a drink to suit every inappropriate beach party. Included in the line up are a lime and coconut Daiquiri; a Rum Punch made with mango, orange, pineapple, cranberry, and coconut; a pineapple, coconut and blackberry inflected Pineapple Twist; plus, a Blue Hawaiian with pineapple, orange, cherry, and coconut. All things considered, Malibu are definitely putting the “mm” in “summer’s over, stop having fun.”

According to Cosmopolitan, each 60-ounce pouch contains around 12.5% ABV and comes with its own nozzle, making surreptitious pouring easier than ever. To make things even more ideal for bereft, sun-loving adults, the Malibu website contains a handy tool for identifying the nearest store where the plastic carafes are available.

If that fails, there is a second tool on the site which customers can use to check if they can get the drinks delivered straight to the door, making the cocktails convenient as well as delicious. The tool will not only identify suitable locations for potential pick up, but will also tell you whether you’re eligible for one-hour delivery, making this the easiest way to pretend to be on a beach since garden centres started selling palm trees. Just remember, no matter how hard you try, summer has to end at some point.

It is officially summer. The sun is out, I've had about 14 barbecues already, and I cannot avoid getting to work without looking like a sweat-covered slug. However, those scorching hot workdays spent at your desk are all worth it when the weekend rolls around, and you can relax in the sun with a cocktail.

But you know what's better than a nice rum cocktail on a hot day? Sixty ounces of the stuff!

That's right, Malibu (everybody's favorite alcohol brand once the weather surpasses 19°C) is selling nearly two liters (1.7 to be exact) of tropical, summer-inspired cocktails to help make those warm balmy nights absolutely perfect.

Each giant pouch is attached with a handle nozzle, so no spillages here. I like to think of them as a giant adult fruity juice box.

And there's a flavor to suit everyone out there. There's Rum Punch with mango, orange, pineapple, cranberry, and coconut. There's the Blue Hawaiian with pineapple, orange, cherry, and coconut. There's the Daiquiri, which is a perfect lime and coconut combo. And finally, there's the Pineapple Twist with pineapple (obviously), with a twice of coconut and blackberries.

One sip and you're practically on a beach in the Caribbean!

These cocktails-in-a-bag are ready to serve (just make sure they're chilled first), and contain a mighty impressive 12.5% alcohol. And you can enjoy them out of fancy cocktail glasses, red solo cups, or just cut out the middle man and pour them straight from the nozzle into your mouths - I'm not judging!

So, how can you start enjoying these cocktails ASAP? Well, just head over to the Malibu site, select which flavor you'd like (I'm stocking up on Pineapple Twist), and enter your zip code. The site will then identify nearby locations for pick-up or whether their 1-hour delivery option is available.

I hate to be THAT guy, but I can get delivery, and I - Oh, they're here now!

Next time you're at a banging party, don't expect any "slapping the bag." Put the boxed wine on a shelf, and clear out the guests who want to drink straight from the bag. Yes, instead of reaching for Franzia at the liquor store, you're going to want to start trying Malibu's Mixed Drink Pouches.

The new boozy drink is essentially a Capri Sun, though you won't want to hand these out at a children's soccer game. Nor could you finish a pouch in one gulp.

Whether you're planning a backyard get-together or towing them to the park, these 1.75 litre bags are the perfect summer treat. And though I'm not daring you to finish one alone, I'm also not saying you couldn't.

I'm unsure whether or not the hole at the top is a handle, but I'm hoping it's a place to stick in a straw, and funnel the nectar of the gods like a hedonist.

If you're not keen on drinking from the package, a spout at the bottom makes for an easy pour. The 12.5% alcoholic drink comes in four fun flavours: Blue Hawaiian, Pineapple Twist, Daiquiri and Rum Punch.

The Blue Hawaiian tastes like pineapple, orange, cherry, and coconut, while the Pineapple Twist has hints of pineapple, blackberry and coconut. The Daiquiri boasts a simple lime and coconut. But the rum punch is truly a punch with mango, orange, pineapple, cranberry and coconut flavours.

The website even has cocktail ideas if you don't want to down these straight (though I have a feeling it wouldn't be too hard).

You can now buy these pouches at liquor stores nationwide, and online to entertain the guests at your next shindig.

Or, finish the pouch solo during a pampering afternoon of kicking back and day drinking. Whoever said alcohol that comes in a pouch wasn't classy was seriously disturbed.

Summer is just around the corner, and with all the picnic dates, days spent by the pool, and hopefully a vacation - there sure will be a lot of boozing. And this prospect has just gotten even more exciting given that Malibu have just released a pink lemonade cocktail, and it even comes in a can, making it the perfect, transportable accessory during the summer months.

Rum fans can already find Malibu's new addition in stores.

The pre-mixed drink costs just £1.80 a can, and it's the easiest, and tastiest way to enjoy a tipple this summer.

The descriptions says that it's a "a sparkling blend of fizzy pink lemonade and coconut, with a slight sweetness and the distinctive character of Malibu Caribbean rum."

The 250ml cans have an alcohol by volume (ABV) of five per cent.

Malibu's Fizzy Pink Lemonade is available online and in stores, but currently only at Tesco.

This release follows last year's roll-out of Malibu cans of Piña Colada, which temporarily replaced the brand's strawberry and kiwi flavours.

Malibu also has two other pre-mixed drink cans which come in pineapple and cola flavours.

The Caribbean rum is made at the West Indies Rum Distillery, which has been active since 1893.

This article was originally published on Four Nine.

Summer is almost here, which means that cocktail season is almost upon us once again. Which in turn means good news for all you booze hounds out there, because Malibu has risen to the occasion with a new rum-based drink just in time for those pool parties and barbecues.

The new rum will be packed with flavours of strawberry and coconut and will go on sale from May 22, sold exclusively at the British supermarket Tesco.

The 75cl bottles come will cost approximately £9.50 ($12.28) each. The strawberry tipple is said to be best enjoyed poured over ice, and weighs in at 11% ABV.

The product was first created by Tom Jago of International Distillers & Vintners back in 1982, and was originally made from fruit spirits and then flavoured with rum and coconut in Curaçao.

Originally, the product was used to simplify the making of piña coladas by bartenders, but it soon proved popular in its own right. Malibu rum is currently made by West Indies Rum Distillery.

Although the original form of Malibu was coconut flavoured, a number of new flavours have hit the market since the drink's inception, including banana, pineapple, passion fruit, island melon, and mango, as well as Malibu Fresh, a special blend with mint, a tequila known as Malibu Red, and a double-strength version called Malibu Black.

Personally, I can wait to pick up a bottle of this from my local store. Bottoms up!

It might seem like summer is a long way away, but in reality, it's a lot closer than you think. Winter is slowly but surely beginning to recede, and as the weather changes, so will our drinks preferences.

We'll all say bye-bye to spiced ciders, mulled wines, and hot toddies, and embrace something a little more fruity and a lot colder. I'm talking about the kind of tipples you'd expect to imbibe on a sunkissed beach in the Caribbean somewhere.

Sound appetizing? I thought so. So if the idea of something like that excites you, then I have some good news that'll make your day: the drinks company Malibu has just released a brand-new 'Splash cans' of canned rum that will really help you dial down the heat in the best possible way this summer.

The new product comes in a variety of sparkling fruity flavors with a coconut base, including strawberry and coconut, lime and coconut, passionfruit and coconut, and pineapple and coconut. These 12-ounce slim cans are all malt-based, with a 5 per cent ABV.

Not only that, but you can also pick up and try each flavor individually (to see if it really is your thing) or you can purchase them as part of a special variety pack with two cans of each flavor.

It all sounds pretty cool, right? I'm certainly keen for the summer now. But this is far from the first time that we've written about an awesome new product that Malibu Rum's eggheads have managed to brew up.

Last year, they impressed up all with these incredible giant rum cocktail pouches, which were capable of holding an amazing 1.7 liters of booze per pouch.
