No coconut cream? Use a mix of coconut milk and heavy cream instead. Mix equal parts of each to match the recipe amount.

Replace coconut water with plain sparkling water. The drink will be less sweet but still fizzy and refreshing.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and double the coconut water amount. Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
