Swap notes

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. Vodka keeps the drink cleaner and more neutral, while light rum adds a softer sugarcane note. Replacing either one will change the drink's balance.
