QuestionDo I have to add alcohol?Community AnswerNo, use the non-alcoholic versions if you don't want alcohol to be included. As for the fancy version above, it contains rum. You don't have to add alcohol, but the rum in this one definitely adds key flavor to the drink. You could substitute the rum with rum extract, which has very minimal alcohol, but if you want to go non-alcoholic, you can use Perrier mineral water, rum syrup, or coca-cola with a little molasses mixed in.
