Mai tai

Recipes Drinks
The Mai Tai is the holy grail of tiki culture. The name means 'The best – out of this world' in Tahitian. Trader Vic created it in 1944 to showcase the flavour notes of an excellent 17-year-old rum. It is not a sweet fruit juice bomb, but a dry, almond-lime, complex rum cocktail, made truly refreshing by crushed ice.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Shaker: For cooling.
  • Double Old Fashioned glass: The wide mouth accommodates plenty of ice and garnish.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Nuts (Almond in Orgeat)

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the shaker with ice cubes, and measure in the rums, liqueur, syrup, and lime juice.

Tip: The freshness of the lime counterbalances the sweetness of the almond and alcohol.
2 ✓

Shake for 10 seconds to cool.

Tip: The goal is not to shake it too watery, as it will dilute further on the crushed ice.
3 ✓

Fill a glass with crushed ice and strain the drink over it.

Tip: Crushed ice cools over a larger surface area, making the drink extremely cold.
4 ✓

Garnish: place the squeezed half lime shell on top of the ice (like a small island), and stick a sprig of mint next to it (this is the palm tree).

Tip: Clap the mint against your palm before adding to release the essential oils.
