Mai tai

Ingredients

25ml golden rum
1 tbsp orange curacao
2 tsp orgeat syrup


The Mai Tai (/ˈmaɪ ˈtaɪ/ MYE TYE) is a cocktail made of rum, Curaçao liqueur, orgeat syrup, and lime juice. It is one of the characteristic cocktails in Tiki culture.

25ml lime juice
2 tsp sugar syrup
ice cubes
crushed ice
25ml dark rum
To garnish

wedge of pineapple, a lime wheel or a cocktail cherry (or all three!)

Method
STEP 1
Pour the golden rum, curacao, orgeat, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels really cold.

STEP 2
Fill a tumbler 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.

STEP 3
Garnish with fruit like pineapple, lime and cocktail cherries if you like.
