Notes
Substitutes:
- Spiced Rum: If you don't have spiced rum, use regular white or dark rum and add a pinch of cinnamon for that spicy kick. I
- Tomato Juice: Vegetable juice is a good alternative if you prefer something other than tomato juice's strong flavor. It's lighter but still brings that savory essence.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Soy sauce can be used in place of Worcestershire sauce. It changes the character of the drink but still works. Just be careful with the salt since soy sauce is already quite salty.
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of spiced rum, 32 oz of tomato juice, 16 dashes of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, 4 oz of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine all the ingredients. Â Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled highball glasses, garnish with a celery stalk, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Spiced Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum substitute; these are available and reasonably mimic rum's flavor.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of the regular spiced rum, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
Making it Vegan:
- Worcestershire Sauce Substitute: Traditional Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies. To make this drink vegan, use a vegan-friendly Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce as an alternative.
