Recipe
Martin Cate’s Mai Tai
2oz (60ml) Blended Aged Rum
1/2oz (15ml) Dry Curaçao
1/2oz (15ml) Smuggler's Cove Orgeat
1/4oz (7.5ml) Mai Tai Rich Simple Syrup
3/4oz (20ml) Lime Juice
Spent Lime Shell and Mint Sprig Garnish

For Smuggler's Cove Orgeat
1 pound blanched almonds (3 1/2 to 4 cups)
4 cups water
5 cups white granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon rose water
1/4 teaspoon orange flower water
2 teaspoons column still lightly aged rum
Add almonds and water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Then strain the almonds and set aside. Reserve the Almond Water Separately.
Add 2 Cups of the almonds to a food processor and process into small rice sized pieces. Slowly add around 11oz of the almond water to the almonds and blend until fully combined into a slurry or paste.
Allow the paste to cool after which put the paste into a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and squeeze the liquid from the paste into a pot. With this done measure twice the amount of sugar as almond milk (you're making a 2:1 syrup here) and add all to a pot over low heat and stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool and then add orange flower water, rose water and rum

Cate must have done a lot of experimenting to come up with this recipe. It's exquisite.

My coworker has the most unhinged mai tai recipe and people just eat it up.
He does a paper plane build, equal parts rum, curaçao, orgeat, and lime.

How is smugglers cove orgeat and Mai tai rich simple step different from orgeat and rich simple syrup

[karpus_bar]

recipe from smuggle’s cove calls for a quarter ounce of orgeat!

[jimklemens]

Orgeat is pronounced Or-zhaat if you speak English or Or-zhaa if you speak French.
