Aruba Ariba is a fantastic cocktail especially for those who love low ABV drinks. It is full of fruitiness tropical vibes and will not taste like a lot of alcohol. Aruba Ariba will instantly transport you to a sandy beach on a tropical island and will not give you a headache the next day :)

On the other hand, since I prefer a little bit more kick in my drinks, I took a liberty of making two versions, original and one with a little bit more alcohol in it. Also, I increased the amount of lemon juice to balance my grenadine, which was a bit too sweet. These small tweaks added up to a very refreshing drink, where spirits were more noticeable, but not overtaking fruity notes of orange and pineapple.
