George's Hi Mai Tai
0
A Mai Tai variation shaken from white, dark and Jamaican rum with lime and orange juice, orgeat and orange liqueur. Fruity and almond-sweet, garnished with mint and served in a tiki glass. Created by George Kull in 2015.
Similar names: Bitter Mai Tai, Brooklyn (St George version), George Washington, Jakarta Mai Tai, Mai Jungle, Mai T-Day, Mai Tai, Mai-Kai Swizzle
The drink grew out of George Kull's own Mai Tai variations from the mid-2000s, before Kull turned to books by Vic Bergeron and Beachbum Berry for tiki recipes. Homemade orgeat is a key ingredient, and of the rums tried over the years, Real McCoy works best in the mix.
