  • No Bourbon? Use Jack Daniels (Tennessee whiskey is made much like bourbon)
  • No Apple Brandy? Use Calvados
  • No Apple Brandy? Use Brandy (Grape instead of apple)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
  • No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
  • No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
  • No Egg White? Use Aquafaba (Chickpea Water) (Chickpea water: same foam and vegan. Use the same amount)
