- Bacardi superior rum: 0.5 oz(15ml)
Malibu Rum
A sweet, coconut-flavored rum that adds a tropical flair. The 0.5 oz measurement keeps it from overpowering the drink. Without it, you lose that sun-kissed vibe, but substituting with another coconut rum will keep the beach party going!

Peach Schnapps
This sweet, fruity liqueur gives a Georgia orchard twist to the cocktail. Too much could make it cloying, not enough and you might miss the peachy keenness. Substituting with apricot brandy could be peachtacular if you're in a pinch!
Alex Green
Pineapple Juice
A 'dash' adds just a hint of island life without turning your cocktail into a smoothie. Pineapple juice is key for its acidity and sweetness; skip this, and you'd lose the balance. Swap with mango juice for an exotic touch.
Emma Rose
Cranberry Juice
Its tartness cuts through the sweetness and adds a lovely blush. A dash does the trick; too much could lead to a tart takeover. Omitting it might leave your cocktail too sweet, but pomegranate juice could play a similar role with a bit more sophistication.
Mary Mitkina
Bacardi Superior Rum
This light rum brings the boogie without outshining the other flavors at 0.5 oz. Forgetting Bacardi would be liking missing the guest of honor! A different white rum could samba in, but it might change the flavor dance a smidge.
