If you've tried a Mai Tai in the past and been unimpressed with the sugary or overly fruity flavor, this classic version of the Mai Tai might change your mind. The last time I visited my sister, I twisted my brother in law's arm to show me how to make his version. This drink is very smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet. Add as much or as little pineapple juice as you like in order to sweeten the drink.
* The only place I've found that makes a Mai Tai close to this version is PF Chang's. As proven with the fabulous Coconut Lemon Sour, their bartenders definitely know how to mix a drink.
Classic Mai Tai
1 ounce light rum, Bacardi is fine
1 ounce mid range or top shelf dark rum, I used Mount Gay Rum
1/2 ounce Orgeat syrup
1/2 ounce Gran Gala orange liqueur
2 - 3 ounces pineapple juice, adjust to taste
Combine the first four ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well until chilled and then strain over fresh crushed ice. Add pineapple juice and stir. Enjoy!
