Another great Mai Tai riff is the Tai Mai from the Hali’imaile General Store. So good we went back 3 times in a one week vacation.

That foam looks incredible on this Monkey Pod Mai Tai - can't wait to try it

Been to Maui twice. Once for our honeymoon in 2018 and again last year. Visited Lahaina both times. One of our favorite places. Truly heartbreaking. Thanks for using this video to direct attention to the people of Lahaina and Maui that need help right now.

My friend is on Oahu at the moment and had one of these last night at monkey pod near aulani, she said one of the best she’s had (it’s not quite like a classic maitai but it’s tasty AF)

Kudos for supporting the displaced and impacted residents of Maui too 🤙🤙

The news of the fires in Maui has been devastating and very heartbreaking. We visited Maui from Singapore less than two months ago. Many amazing memories and will do our bit to support with a donation. We had the Monkeypod Mai Tai at Whaler's Village Kaanapali and really enjoyed it. They do seem to be able to keep the foam stable. We also had a similar version at Fleetwood's on Front St, called the '1944 Mai Tyler'. There is an instructional video online. Believe it was Steven Tyler's fav. This had a mix of rum's which included Smith & Cross and was super tasty. Sadly Fleetwood's was lost in the fires

Last year we had this from the Monkeypod Kitchen in Ko Olina, and enjoyed it quite a bit. And my wife just requested I make this sometime.

Thanks so much for the great videos as always, but also for being so considerate!

How did i miss this video? I thought i watched all the Mai Tai videos at least twice! Always happy to see another i might gave missed. Just made my own honey liliko'i foam and can't wait to try it!

[DenisAlonsoJr]

Oh boy, this one looks delicious, definitely going to give it a try 😊

[robmichaels]

Another great video, enjoying Mai Tai month. I will have to try to the macadamia nut mai tai, but I still have to try my Joi orgeat.

[jdogfunk]

Awesome, thanks! Would love to see more whipped cream charger recipes like this.

I just made some macadamia nut Orgeat from some Nutmilk concentrate from another one of your vids. I’m gonna make it with acid adjusted Pineapple too make it more Hawaiian.

Love your channel Buddy definitely taking a lot of techniques from it.

Had this at the beach house last night, simply amazing.

[alexanderwoller]

I added about 1% by weight (ended up being about 1.75 grams) of 210 S to the foam mixture and got a pretty stable foam. Also called for in Tropical Standard's Gardenia Mix and honestly could probably be added to homemade orgeat to keep it from separating.

I got married at Merriman’s Maui. Definitely gotta support the locals. I’ll also for sure make the monkey pod. I remember the bartender at Merriman’s was super cool, he made me a mai tai on the house. I ran into him at a concert the day after my wedding. Such a tragedy, I really feel for the locals out there.

I quite literally just got home from Maui (wife won the trip from wheel of fortune). We hit up the monkey pod and it was great. So sad about the fires.

[mmwosu]

That’s a hot tip about the robogrips to remove separated corks.
My pair saved a bottle of mezcal at a Halloween party I was hosting once.
Now I never bartend a party without them 👍

[jacobmoux]

Oh man, I love this Mai tai. Never thought about making it. Need that whip cream maker thing

[penguinshome]

I made the macadamia orgeat for a ‘44 Mai Tai this evening. Quite lovely.

[stephane.foisy.]

Sounds very interesting. Might use trader Vic macadamia nut liqueur, as it’s easier then making the orgeat.
