Notes
Substitutes:
From personal experience, I've tinkered with the following changes:- Dark Rum: Light rum or spiced rum can be a good substitute. Spiced rum will introduce a more complex flavor.
- Cognac or Brandy: You can use whiskey, though it will alter the flavor profile. A fruity whiskey works best.
- Peach Schnapps: In the absence of schnapps, a peach liqueur or even a touch of peach nectar (though reduce sugar if you use nectar) does the trick.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Dark Rum & Cognac Substitute: Use non-alcoholic rum and brandy alternatives. They're available in most specialty stores.
- Peach Schnapps: Use peach nectar or a peach-flavored syrup. Remember to adjust the sugar content to prevent over-sweetening.
