Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of alcohol?
Yes, you can experiment with different spirits like rum or whiskey to create your own unique flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the taste will vary significantly depending on the alcohol you choose, so adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
