Base spiritsThis drink uses more than one base spirit, so changing one bottle can shift the balance quickly. Keep the total spirit amount similar and swap within a similar style if you want the drink to stay close to the original.CitrusLime can replace lemon juice in a pinch but it tastes more floral and slightly sweeter, so the drink will taste different. Reduce any syrup by a small amount if swapping. Orange juice is a softer, less acidic option — use it when you want a rounder, less sharp result.BittersOrange bitters add citrus brightness and aromatic lift. Angostura is spicier and warmer — use a dash less if you swap. Peychaud's is the lightest option; it keeps the drink balanced without adding too much weight.
