The best Mai Tai recipe I have used that combines the perfect amount of sweetness and deliciousness!
Ingredients
- 1 ounce light rum
- 1 ounce dark rum
- 1/2 ounce orgeat (almond) syrup (I used Monin)
- 1/2 orange liqueur (I used Cointreau)
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- pineapple cubes for garnish
- mint for garnish
- pebbled ice bought from sonic (10lb bag for $2!)
Directions
- Pour crushed ice into your cocktail glass.
- Combine light rum, orgeat, and orange liqueur in a shaker with ice. Shake well until chilled and pour over ice into your cup.
- Add pineapple juice and stir.
- Add dark rum on top, add garnish, and add straw. This is important to add the dark rum last to get a little separation. I didn’t for some of these and it makes a big difference in the presentation of your cocktail. Learn from my mistakes
- *FOR MOCKTAIL: Replace light rum with orange juice. Replace dark rum with sparkling lemon water. Replace Cointreau with fresh lemon juice. Follow instructions above with the ingredient modifications*
- Pour that cocktail, play some Hawaiian tunes, and get in the island vibe. I am usually not a sweet drink person but this cocktail has the perfect amount of sweetness and I think the almond syrup is the secret ingredient. I also never knew you could buy pebbled ice from Sonic and called my local shop and bought it in the drive through for $2 bucks! Feel like the ice really elevates the cocktail and makes me feel like I am having a drink out at my favorite resort.
