FAQs
Can I use bottled lime juice?
Fresh lime juice is best for the zingy balance, but bottled works in a pinch.
Is coconut rum too sweet for this cocktail?
Not at all. Coconut rum gives a mellow, creamy twist—just reduce pineapple juice slightly if you prefer it less sweet.
What’s the best glass to use?
A tall highball or stemless wine glass works well. Anything that holds ice and allows for garnishing.
Can I make it ahead of time?
You can shake the base in advance, store it chilled, and add club soda just before serving.
Can I batch this cocktail?
Yes—multiply everything except the soda, shake in portions, and top each glass with club soda individually for best fizz.
