Bitter Mai Tai - Could this be BETTER than the Original?!

This beautiful creation of Jeremy Oertel combines the funk of Smith & Cross with the bitter notes of Campari to bring you a version of the Mai Tai that just might take the place of the original recipe as a fan favourite.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 oz / 45 ml Campari
3/4 oz / 22.5 ml aged Jamaican rum (Smith & Cross)
1/2 oz / 15 ml dry curacao
1 oz / 30 ml lime juice
3/4 oz / 22.5 ml orgeat

Just made this, and love it! Another great way to get my Campari fix!

I feel the same way. Original Mai Tai is one of my all time favorites but first time I had a Bitter Mai Tai it blew me away. If you're a fan of Campari this is a must try.

A really good drink that has entered my rotation. I don't think it quite stands up to the original Mai Tai, though

[jessicazaytsoff]

Bitter (Campari), pebble ice and old fashioned glass? I'm in.

[zackaryseifert]

S really good all though the orgeat is new to me

[taylorworthington]

Why not whip shake dirty dump and top with crushed?

[robertvarda]

Better than the original? Sacrilegious.

Can I use captain Morgan as rum? Instead of Jamaican rum

[jimilittle]

That was clearly not 1oz of lime juice.
