Notes

The drink can be made frozen by blending all ingredients with crushed ice.
Store-bought juices work fine, but fresh-squeezed orange juice adds better flavor.
The cocktail should be served right away for the best taste.
Different rum brands will change the flavor profile. Mount Gay or Bacardi work well for light rum, while Myers's or Goslings are good choices for dark rum.
Keep ingredients cold before mixing for the best results.
