  • You can adjust the rum quantity to make the drink stronger or lighter based on your taste.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add extra pineapple or orange juice.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor and brightness.
  • Serve the cocktail immediately after blending to enjoy optimal freshness and texture.
