For an extra layer of flavor, try using a high-quality dark rum. The richer notes will complement the fruitiness of the other ingredients. Freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade sweet and sour mix will elevate this cocktail to new heights. Adjust the amount of grenadine to your liking. A little goes a long way! Get creative with your garnishes! Maraschino cherries or pineapple wedges would also be delicious additions. If you don't have blackberry brandy, you can substitute with another fruit brandy or liqueur, such as raspberry or cherry.
