George's Hi Mai Tai

🥃
0

Shake White Rum, Orange Juice, Lime Juice, Jamaican Rum with ice. Strain into a tiki mug.

Back in the mid-2000s, before diving into books by Vic Bergeron and Beachbum Berry for tiki drink recipes, I was experimenting with my own "Mai Tai" variations. This is one of my favorites, which friends enjoy. The homemade orgeat stands out as a key ingredient, adding depth and complexity to the cocktail. Over time, I've tried various rums, but Real McCoy really shines in this mix despite its playful name.
