  • No Dark Rum? Use Aged Rum (Lighter, less molasses)
  • No Dark Rum? Use Gold Rum (Lighter, less molasses)
  • No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
  • No Orange Juice? Use Orange (Squeeze fresh: 1 orange gives about 70 ml)
  • No Orange Juice? Use Blood Orange Juice (Berry-like and deep red)
  • No Coconut Cream? Use Cream (Loses the coconut flavour)
