Substitutes:
- Gold Rum: If you don't have gold rum, try using white rum for a lighter flavor profile or dark rum for a richer taste.
- Falernum: I've used homemade Falernum syrup by infusing simple syrup with cloves, ginger, and lime zest when store-bought wasn't available.
- Orange Curaçao: Triple sec works as an alternative if you need a substitute; it's slightly sweeter but still provides that citrus kick.
- Sugar Syrup: You can make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat.
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To serve 8, multiply all ingredients by 8, resulting in 16 oz of gold rum, 4 oz each of Falernum and orange curaçao, 6 oz of lime juice, and 2 oz of sugar syrup.
- Mix: Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher filled with ice and stir well.
- Serve: Strain into individual coupe glasses, garnish with lime wheels or twists, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum alternative; these mimic the flavor without the alcohol content.
- Falernum Substitute: Opt for a spiced simple syrup infused with similar spices like cloves and ginger.
- Orange Curaçao Substitute: Use orange juice with a dash of bitters for complexity.
- Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using these substitutes for a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
Ensure any store-bought syrups or substitutes are labeled vegan if needed.
