Substitutions:

I highly recommend making the drink as it’s written because it’s delicious, you can make a few substitutes if needed based on what you have in your liquor cabinet:

  • Rum – if you don’t have white rum available, you should be fine to substitute vodka. I’ve personally never tried this, but imagine it would still tastes great!
  • Campari – the best subsititute for the Campari would be Aperol, which is another Italian bitter aperitif. If you don’t have either, I would suggest subbing in pomegranate juice with a few extra drops of bitters. Just know this will lower the total alcohol content for the drink, and change the flavor some. Again this is not something I have personally tried with this cocktail.
  • Bitters – you really can’t find a decent replacement for bitters. Most grocery stores and liquor stores carry a version, so I highly recommend sticking with it. Besides, to make your own version at home, it would take longer than just running to the store or even ordering a bottle online.
