Coconut liqueur mixer

I don't exactly want a cocktail, but I have a coconut liqueur, not Malibu - this one was from Norfolk Island when we were there for a week. But although I like Malibu I have never quite got the right mixer with it. I tend to like sweet liqueurs (don't really want to taste whisky etc), but lemonade in this makes it too close to a soft drink. Soda water is the best I have managed, but it's a bit bland; I don't think it suits tonic water (which is my favourite fizzy drink really), so I am a little at a loss. Coke would surely overwhelm the coconut taste and anyway I am not fond of coke.

So what should I do with it? I don't want to spend hours on a fancy recipe, just something simple to enhance it.

Thank you both. Havng said I like cocktails sweet, of course I don't want them sickly, so I'm not sure about pineapple juice. Might try grapefruit though. I'll ignore the fact it doesn't go with with simvastatin.

...coconut and pineapple have a great affinity especially in drinks! The Pina colada with rum added is one of my favourite holiday/summer cocktails along with any fruit daiquiri.....

This video link shows how to make a pina colada....the 50ml coconut rum could be substituted with coconut liquer .... <cool> .
