Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Cherry Heering? Use Cherry Brandy (Both are dark cherry liqueurs)
- No Cherry Heering? Use Cherry Liqueur
- 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 Bénédictine? Use Drambuie (Honeyed like Bénédictine, but whisky-based)
- No Bénédictine? Use Yellow Chartreuse (More herbal)
- 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)
- No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
- No Angostura Bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
