My Favorite Mai Tai recipe

Today we tackle one of the most popular Tiki Cocktails in the Cannon: The Mai Tai!

The Mai Tai was purportedly created by Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron in 1944 at his restaurant Trader Vic's in Oakland California. There is some controversy as Don The Beachcomber claimed to have invented the Mai Tai in 1933 at his selfed named Hollywood restaurant. Who invented the Mai Tai? We will probably never know. What we do know is that the original drink called for Wray and Nephew 17 year rum which you can find here:

Since that is way out of our price range and would definitely make the world's most expensive Mai Tai, variations on this cocktail, all trying to equate the flavor of the original abound. In this episode I teach you my own tried and true recipe. If you were to come and see me at Cole's and order a Mai Tai this is what you would get. I stand by this recipe. I will maybe post another episode sometime in the future where we do another variation on this drink which purports itself to be close to the original.
Anyway as always hope you enjoy the episode!

The Specs:

2oz or 60ml Aged Jamaican Rum
.75oz or 20ml Orange Curacao
1oz or 30ml Lime Juice
