Missing something?
- No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
- No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
- No Peach Brandy? Use Peach Schnapps (Thinner and sweeter)
- No Peach Brandy? Use Apricot Brandy (Apricot instead of peach)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Honey Syrup? Use Honey (Mix with the same amount of warm water first)
- No Honey Syrup? Use Agave Syrup (Cleaner and less floral)
- No Pineapple? Use Pineapple Juice (About 30ml per 4 chunks; less body when blended)
