Notes
It's best to chill your spiced rum, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda before mixing to keep your drink cold and refreshing with less ice dilution.
Pick a spiced rum you like and make sure it's good quality. The rum's taste can affect your cocktail's overall flavor, so choosing one with a taste profile that you enjoy (such as a hint of vanilla or cinnamon) will make it even better.
If you want your cocktail to be sweeter or less sweet, you can adjust the amount of pineapple juice or lemon-lime soda. Start with the recommended measurements and then make changes according to your taste.
Also, dark rum is a great alternative, and it's really tasty!
