- 2 ounce dark rum
- 1 ounce vodka

Notes
- Use chilled ingredients: Cold juice and alcohol help keep the drink refreshing longer.
- Make ahead: You can mix the liquid ingredients ahead of time and store them inside your fridge, then add ice and garnish when serving.
- Adjust ratios: Taste and add more juice for a lighter drink or more alcohol for a stronger one.
- Use fresh orange juice: It gives the best flavor compared to store-bought.
- Don’t overfill with ice: Too much ice can dilute the drink too quickly.
- Chill glasses for serving: Keeps drink cool longer.
- Make a pitcher: Easily scale up for parties and gatherings. Add ice just before serving to prevent dilution.
