For a richer flavor, consider infusing the rum with cinnamon sticks or vanilla beans for a week prior to making the Ponche de Crème. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference, but be mindful of maintaining the drink's luscious texture. Use high-quality ingredients for the best possible taste. The quality of the rum, in particular, will significantly impact the final result. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with an equal amount of coconut cream or pineapple juice, and a splash of rum extract.
