- No Gold Rum? Use Dark Rum (Heavier molasses notes)
- No Galliano? Use Yellow Chartreuse
- No Galliano? Use Licor 43 (More vanilla and citrus, less anise)

- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Prosecco? Use Champagne (Drier and toastier)
