Notes
This recipe makes about 8 servings. You can easily double or triple it for larger groups.
To make it stronger, add more rum. For a weaker version, use less rum and more juice.
Try adding coconut rum for extra tropical flavor. You can also float dark rum on top of each glass for a layered look.
Make a non-alcoholic version by leaving out the rum and using more fruit juice or lemon-lime soda instead.
Prepare the juice mixture ahead of time, but wait to add the club soda until just before serving to keep it fizzy.
