Yes, substitute with a small splash of almond liqueur (like Amaretto) for sweetness and depth, though the flavor profile will shift slightly.
Shake it with ice to chill and dilute slightly, which rounds out the sweetness and integrates the grenadine evenly.
Light or white rum works best; aged or dark rum will overpower the delicate fruit notes. Use quality imported rum for the smoothest result.
Fresh is ideal for brighter flavor, but quality bottled pineapple juice (no added sugar) works well and is more consistent.
Use minimal grenadine (1/4 tsp), fresh or unsweetened pineapple juice, and shake well with ice to dilute properly.
