The Mai Tai

Two rums, lime, and orgeat over crushed ice, a camp-trip classic that tastes just as good after a day outdoors as it did in 1944.

The Mai Tai

Created in 1944 by Trader Vic this classic cocktail has been “improved” so much, the modern cocktail only shares one trait with the original - Rum.

We use a very dark and a lightly spiced Rum to approximate Vic’s original Rum of choice. Enjoy this cocktail any night of the week.

1 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Dark Rum
1 oz Light Rum
1/2 oz Orange Curacao
1/2 oz Orgeat Syrup
Garnish: Mint Sprig

To Build:
Combine all the ingredients except garnish in a shacker. Shack to chil and double strain into a Double Old Fashion Glass with crushed ice and garnish.
