Mai Tai

The garnish is important in this drink because you smell the mint as you drink it.

Pretty good recipe. If you want to make it simple and inexpensive... and I do. 2 oz Appleton Estate Signature rum, 1/2 Cointreau, 1/2 lime juice, 1/4 orgeat. I find orgeat can overpower the other flavors but blend to your tastes.
Last night I experimented and replaced the Cointreau with Grenadine (replaced orange flavor for pomegranate). It tasted great. Then I tried that with Plantation 3 stars rum instead of Appleton and that was also delicious. Rum, Lime juice and any sweetener is a winner. Orgeat gives it that special tiki kick. :-) cheers.

Good homemade Mai Tai recipe. A lot of other videos overcomplicate it. This one is straight and to the point and has all the right components. If you have the funds, you can always upgrade ingredients.

I wonder if you muddled a tad bit of mint with the orgeat and lime how it’d go

Love it!!! Nice voice nice voice), musick is in the background--not over your voice. You didn't talk for 4 minutes--then get to the simply made a Mai Tai video. Awesome!!!!

You can talk about great home made ingredients, top shelf booze and getting the ratios perfectly balanced, but the thing everybody overlooks and what truly makes a Mai Tai an adult happy meal is the salad up top. In the 90's the Royal Hawaiian hotel still had marble bathrooms with bathroom attendants. They're all gone now, replaced with cheap Formica and no guy in an old suit basking in farts and dollar sprays of cologne. What's gone too is the exceptional garnishes they'd put on Mai Tai's. Each one, no matter how many Mai Tais deep you were, were presented with no less than a cherry and pineapple wedge skewered on a paper umbrella along with a mint sprig and the most beautiful orchid blossom ever. How I miss those days, picking people up at the airport, bringing them for a first pacific ocean experience with sandy feet and a perfect Mai Tai in hand trying to keep the new arrival awake until 10 pm so the jet lag wouldn't suck so much. Shout out to bathroom attendants everywhere if you still exist. You may bask in more farts than a returning flight from Cabo, but I miss you. The next Mai Tai's on me. Full salad.

I am cracking up I HATE when bartenders touch the top of your straw so nasty ...

Some of us already had drink mixing experience, and came to the channel for the entertainment. You switched to these mini videos with little to none entertainment value. I understand wanting to drive people to your website, but to not post the recipes with these videos just seems wrong in my opinion. I keep subscribing hoping for a change to something resembling the old tipsy bartender, but it doesn’t seems like that’s going to happen.

Although that resembles the Mai Tia the original Trader Vic is a lot different.

Wish u would tell us the exact amount of liquor used to make this rather than saying “some”

[TheEquinoxs]

doesn't the orange rum on top make it stronger and bitter? :/

[mikem]

That will get you wasted real quickly 😂😂

[robertquail]

That is nasty! You need to stop now. I don't even know what that is. Learn the recipe and history if you want to make it right!

[asktheraccoon]

Nice idea to go with the orange curaçao… But you forgot some Cointreau or Triple Sec.

[sweetpeach]

Can i use Amaretto in the place of Orgeat?? Difficult to find where i live.

[jesusramirez]

Dude your tutorial was going 1000 miles per hour slow down and be more spicific

[weirdbeard]

Yup, that's a well made mai Tai. Don't over complicated it.

[chulinavin]

Why do I always have to drink when I'm in Hawaii? I always party party party party party

[jxxnrxxi]

It's not classic, and it's not Mai Tai. There is no floater in the REAL Mai Tai.
