Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Light rum
Provides the base spirit and most of the drink's alcohol flavor.
Lime juice
Adds acidity that balances the sweetness of the sugar and triple sec.
Crushed ice
Chills the drink and, when blended, gives it a thick, slushy texture.
Triple sec
Adds orange-flavored sweetness and aroma to the drink.
Sugar
Adds sweetness that offsets the sourness of the lime juice.

The step that matters

Blend at high speed until firm. Blending long enough breaks the ice into fine crystals so the drink becomes smooth and slushy. Stopping too early leaves chunks of ice and an uneven, watery texture.

Swap the lime

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (rum, sugar, cherry):

  1. Vanillafits better
  2. Pineapplefits better
  3. Bananafits better
  4. Limethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against rum, sugar, cherry. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
