Trader Vic Mai Tai

This is the cocktail that fascinates me more than any other. I love the original recipe from Trader Vic. (Not that I don’t love a fruity one on the beach in Maui as well). Finding the best Orgeat, experimenting with Rum’s, and tweaking the recipe for the Mai Tai has been my favorite experiment of my cocktail adventure. Don’t forget the essential mint garnish!
