    Notes

    Here are some personal tips for the best experience:
    Choose quality rum for a richer taste.
    Experiment with the balance of liqueurs for a sweeter or tangier drink.
    A splash of soda can add a fizz to your drink.
    If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more grenadine or a sugar rim.
    I'm always open to trying different variations, so feel free to share your tips or modifications in the comments! 💬
