Yes. Mix the rum, lime juice, triple sec, and maraschino in a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Shake with ice and strain into glasses just before serving to preserve carbonation and chill.
Light or white rum is traditional and allows the citrus and triple sec flavors to shine. Avoid dark or spiced rums, which will overpower the delicate balance.
Fresh lime juice is strongly recommended for brightness and balance. Bottled lime juice tastes flat and will mute the cocktail's citrus character.
Reduce or omit the maraschino dash for a drier drink, or add a small amount of simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Taste and adjust before serving a batch.
Cointreau or other orange liqueurs work well. Avoid substituting with non-orange bases, as they will change the flavor profile significantly.
