Classic Trader Vic Mai Tai (1944) | Using Tiki Lovers Rum
Today we're going to show you how to make a classic 1944 traditional Trader Vic Mai Tai. Mai Tai Recipe: bit.ly/3hkF4Bm
Bartender Starter Kit: bit.ly/3XtufUy
Orgeat Syrup (B.G. Reynolds): amzn.to/3BaWm1m
Tiki Drink Playlist: czcams.com/play/PL5zfqDuFro3xb63a6LnoHY3_YwRLEksmh.html
The Mai Tai is a delicious cocktail that's fairly easy to make if you have access to Orgeat Syrup. If you've got that, the rest is similar to a Mai Tai. You can spend a good deal of time getting the balance right using the traditional recipe or you can make it a bit more sloppy by doing a couple ounces of rum, all orgeat and skip the syrup.
Tiki Drinks are fun, Mai Tai's are part of the fun of most tiki drink stories and parties, so you'll want to know how to make one as well as a bit about the history.
Trader Vic Mai Tai
- 2 oz Jamaican Rum
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz orange curaçao
- 1/4 oz orgeat syrup (almond syrup)
- 1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)
Crushed ice

    Always good to have something to do with that Islay scotch, other than using it as a float in a Penicillin. As for the amaro, Montenegro is pretty mild - so maybe something like Suze?

      @@cmcocktails Not sure about Suze generally. I got it to make a White Negroni, but it's too bitter to be a go-to ingredient. I keep it near my creme de violette, because that's another ingredient that's only good for one drink.

    You guys always look like you're having a good time! I'm sitting with a Hemingway Daiquiri right now, maybe I'll chase it with one of these (it's hot out). My difference will be that right now I have open a bottle of The Bitter Truth falernum, which I think is a little less sweet and heavy on the ginger compared to the Velvet. So we'll see . . . it's all in the interest of science.

    I don't personally drink a lot of Cosmos, but I think it's a good drink and I understand why people like them. Cocktail suggestion: Since you ask, and since you mention tiki, I think the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Daiquiri (Trader Vic) is worth considering. Whenever I make multiple drinks in batches, this tends ro be the first to run out (I serve the batched version on the rocks instead of up).
