      Alison – I have Malibu (coconut) rum. Do you think it would work instead of the gold rum?

        You could but it will have a coconut flavor rather than a richer, sweeter flavor.

      What would be a good alternative to the pineapple and orange juices so that’s it’s not too sweet?

        I’ve never tried another alternative but maybe you could eliminate the orange juice or swap pineapple juice with lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
