Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 Egg White; 30 ml Orgeat; 30 ml Absinthe; 1 pinch Nutmeg; 30 ml Lime Juice; 30 ml Cream; 15 ml Triple Sec; 30 ml Rhum Agricole

A creamy, shaken tiki drink where rhum agricole, absinthe, lime and orgeat are rounded out with cream and egg white, finished with a pinch of nutmeg. Created by Frederic Yarm in Boston in 2018.

Frederic Yarm developed the Mai Tai Suissesse at home in 2018 and entered it in the USBG Cocktail Classique contest sponsored by Lucid Absinthe, where it reached the New York semi-finals. The idea was that tiki drinks go well with absinthe, so instead of adding plain absinthe to a Mai Tai, the creator swapped one of the rums for an Absinthe Suissesse, with orgeat as the ingredient the two drinks share.
