Missing something?

  • No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
  • No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
  • No Vodka? Use Citrus Vodka (Adds a lemon note)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
  • No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
  • No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
  • No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)

All swaps for White Rum, Vodka, Triple Sec, Pineapple Juice and Lime Juice
