Malibu Rum
This coconut-flavored rum brings a tropical twist to the cocktail, infusing it with the essence of the Caribbean. If you use more than 0.5oz, it might overpower the other flavors, less and you'll miss its distinct tropical vibe. No Malibu? No worries, try coconut liqueur or even a bit of coconut milk for a non-alcoholic version.

Vodka
Vodka is the chameleon of the drink, providing a strong alcohol base without imposing its flavor, letting the fruity notes shine. Too much can make the drink too boozy, too little and you might as well be drinking fruit juice. If vodka isn't your thing, white rum could slip in as a slightly more flavorful alternative.

Peach Schnapps
This adds a sweet and tangy peachy zing. Overdo it and the cocktail becomes cloyingly sweet, skimp and you'll miss out on that orchard-fresh flavor. A possible substitute could be apricot brandy for a similar fruit-forward but slightly more potent kick.
Mary Mitkina
Pineapple Juice
It's the liquid sunshine that binds all the flavors together. Without it, you'll have a very different, less harmonious blend. Too much could drown out the other flavors, too little and the drink won't have its characteristic tropical flair. If you're out of pineapple juice, try mango or papaya juice for a fun twist.
Emma Rose
Creme De Banane
The secret weapon for that subtle hint of banana that works so well with the other fruity components. Too much can make your cocktail taste like a banana liqueur with a hint of other flavors, and too little can be almost imperceptible. Swap it out for banana puree if you want a more natural banana taste.
