Mai Tai Cocktail Recipe

Mai Tai is a popular rum-based cocktail originating from Oakland in 1944. Its name means good in Tahitian. In addition to rum, which can be both spiced and coconut flavored, the cocktail contains lime juice, orgeat syrup, and orange liqueur, typically curaƧao, but in some versions it can include grapefruit juice, bitters, or grenadine.

All ingredients should be vigorously shaken with ice for a few minutes before the cocktail is strained into an old-fashioned glass.

 

 

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

25ml golden rum

1 tablespoon orange curacao

2 teaspoon orgeat syrup

25ml lime juice

2 teaspoon sugar syrup

ice cubes

crushed ice

25ml dark rum

To garnish: wedge of pineapple, a lime wheel or a cocktail cherry, mint leaves or combination of all

 

 

DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE MAI TAI COCKTAIL RECIPE

Transfer the golden rum, curacao, orgeat, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice cubes. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels really cold.

Fill glasses with crushed ice then strain the cocktail over it. Slowly pour the dark rum over the top so it stains the top of the drink a rusty gold.

Garnish with toppings of choice.
