Where should I start?
Start with the linked alternative guide, then adjust the build around the part of the drink you miss most.
How do I build it without alcohol?
Choose a light rum alternative or clean cane-style bottle. Use fresh mint and lime to keep the drink sharp and cooling. Finish with soda water so the drink stays lifted, bright, and easy to sip.
Do I need a perfect ingredient swap?
