Instructions

Notes
Substitutes:
- White Rum: Sometimes, I opt for a golden rum to add a hint of caramel flavor. For a smoky twist, mezcal can be an adventurous alternative.
- Maraschino Liqueur: A dash of almond syrup or amaretto can work in the absence of maraschino. However, it changes the profile, making it a tad sweeter.
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To prepare a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all ingredients by 8. For instance, 16 oz of white rum, 6 oz of lime juice, 4 oz of grapefruit juice, and 2 oz of maraschino liqueur.
- Mix: In a large pitcher with ice, combine all the ingredients. Stir thoroughly.
- Serve: Pour the concoction into individual chilled cocktail glasses and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- White Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum substitute or even coconut water for a tropical touch.
- Maraschino Liqueur Substitute: Replace with a cherry or almond syrup.
- Proceed As Usual: Incorporate these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the original ingredients, adhere to the principal steps, and savor a non-alcoholic version.
