- white rum - Also known as light or silver rum. You can substitute a dark rum, though it may slightly change the flavor. The main reason we're using white rum is that it doesn't change the color of the cocktail.

- club soda - the best substitute for club soda is seltzer. You can also use soda water.
- ice
- sugar cube (optional) - no sugar cube? Instead add a teaspoon or two of sugar.
