Aloha!
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits! Speaking of spirits, I’ve stumbled upon the perfect
recipe for a classic Mai Tai that is sure to quench your thirst for the tropics:
Here’s what you need:
• 2 oz quality rum
• 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz orange liqueur
• 1/2 oz orgeat syrup
• Ice
• Mint sprig and lime wheel (for garnish)
Here’s what you do:
1. Grab your cocktail shaker and fill it with ice – the more, the merrier!
2. Pour in 2 oz of your preferred rum. Go for the good stuff; it makes a difference!
3. Add 3/4 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice for that perfect citrus zing.
4. Include 1/2 oz of orange liqueur. Triple sec works like a charm.
5. Sweeten the deal with 1/2 oz of orgeat syrup. It’s the secret touch that elevates the Mai Tai.
6. Secure the shaker lid and give it a good shake; you want those flavors to dance together!
7. Strain your concoction into a glass filled with crushed ice – presentation is key.
8. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel to transport yourself to an instant tropical getaway.
There you have it! A Mai Tai made with love, just for you. I hope it brings a taste of the tropics to your day.
Cheers!
