Missing something?
- No aged rum? Use Gold Rum
- No aged rum? Use Dark Rum (Heavier molasses notes)
- No lime juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No lime juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No simple syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
- No simple syrup? Use Honey Syrup (Adds honey flavour)
- No angostura bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
- No champagne? Use Prosecco (Fruitier and a little sweeter)
