Helpful Tips:
From bartender Ray Wortley at Disney's California Grill, one of the signature restaurants at Walt Disney World. "This is the most time-consuming cocktail that I make for parties," admits Ray, "but it's also the most-talked-about cocktail." For kids, just skip the rum. If you are short on time, you can use frozen apple juice concentrate.
