Solution: Adjust the ratio of vodka to juice to suit your preference. You can always add more juice if it’s too strong.
Problem: The cocktail is too sweet.
Solution: Ensure you’re using unsweetened pineapple and freshly squeezed orange juice, which are less sweet than their canned or bottled counterparts.
