For ADULTS add about 1 cup or to taste of Puerto Rican rum, making sure its a good quality white clear rum. This should be made several days prior to drinking as the flavors marinate best over a few days.

There are several different recipes out there some more simple than others, will shortly post another one without eggs for those leery of raw eggs in their drink.
