- Consider reducing alcohol content by using less vodka and rum for a lighter drink, perfect for those wanting a milder tropical experience.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace spirits with coconut water and pineapple juice, maintaining the refreshing tropical essence while creating a family-friendly mocktail.
