Malibu Watermelon, revealed this week, joins a fruit-flavoured stable that also includes Pineapple and Strawberry. Made with natural watermelon flavours, the release is available immediately across the US.

“With the watermelon flavour trend growing nearly 40% year-over=year, we’re excited to extend the Malibu portfolio with this season’s popular flavour”, said Malibu’s marketing VP, Regan Clarke. 

Earlier this year, Pernod launched Malibu Splash in the US, a flavoured RTD range that uses the same malt beverage base found in many hard seltzers.
