The Perfect Mai Tai - Dads That Cook
By Jason Glover
The Perfect Mai Tai! This fruity, refreshing concoction just screams summertime! Chef Thom walks us through his version using the perfect ratio of rum to fruit juices. Prepare to be whisked away to the beaches of Hawaii. Grass skirt optional!
Fill each glass to the top with ice.
Add enough white rum to fill the bottom quarter of each glass.
Add just a splash of almond liqueur.
Add margarita mix to about 2/3 the way up each glass.
Add the pineapple juice, leaving a bit of room at the top.
Add a splash of orange juice.
Using a cocktail shaker or large glass, gently pour the mixture back and forth to mix the ingredients. (Do one glass at a time and pour slowly back and forth to avoid spilling.)
Return contents to the original glass.
Slowly pour a bit of dark rum on top of each drink to create the classic Mai Tai look.
Add the cherry, pineapple, orange garnish.
Based on personal preference, you may want to give it a stir/mix before drinking.
Aloha!
(Please remember to drink and enjoy responsibly.)
Amount of time will vary based on familiarity and skill level--and the number of drinks made. 😉
