Equipment

- Measuring Jigger
- Strainer and fine-strainer

Instructions
- Chill the Glass: Stir some ice cubes into your champagne flute or place it in the freezer for a few hours.
- Mix Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker combine 1 dash fresh lime juice, 2½ oz pineapple juice, ½ oz Galliano, and 1½ oz Gold Rum.

Notes
Substitutes:
- Gold Rum: I've tried using white rum when I ran out of gold rum. The flavor profile changes slightly, but it still tastes great. Dark rum can also work but will give a richer, deeper flavor.
- Galliano: If you can't find Galliano, you can use another herbal liqueur like Yellow Chartreuse. It alters the taste but in a delightful way.
- Prosecco: Any sparkling wine or club soda can replace Prosecco if needed. Just remember, the bubbles make the drink!
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: For a pitcher serving 8, multiply all ingredients by 8. That's 12 oz of gold rum, 4 oz of Galliano, 20 oz of pineapple juice, 8 dashes of lime juice, and one bottle of Prosecco should be enough.
- Mix: Combine the gold rum, Galliano, pineapple, and lime juice in a large pitcher with ice.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual champagne flutes, top each with Prosecco, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Gold Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum alternative or a mix of apple juice and a touch of almond extract.
- Galliano Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic herbal or vanilla syrup with a hint of anise flavor.
- Prosecco Substitute: Use sparkling water or club soda to maintain the fizz.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
