For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground nutmeg to the blender. If you're concerned about using a raw egg, use pasteurized eggs. Adjust the amount of rum to your liking. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Make sure your orange juice is freshly squeezed for the best flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a splash of orange blossom water for a touch of complexity.
