Suggestions
Feeling adventurous? Swap the white rum with flavored rum, like coconut or pineapple, for a twist! Freshly squeezed lime juice can replace lime wedges for a smoother drink. For a splash of color, throw in a few berries while muddling. Don’t fret if you don’t have a muddler—use the back of a spoon. And always remember: the cooler the drink, the hotter the party!
