The Mai Tai is more than just a drink—it’s a vibe. A mix of smooth rum, zesty lime juice and a splash of almondy orgeat syrup. Sounds fancy, right? Making this rum cocktail is as chill as lazying on a beach hammock. Mixed back in the 1940s, it was meant to scream “I’m amazing!” —and honestly, it does exactly that & then some! Tangy, sweet & with just the right amount of punch, the Mai Tai is like that one friend who shows up to your house with a party hat and happy vibes. Who says winter cocktails have to be warm & fuzzy? As for the cocktail garnish- grab a glass, garnish it with some tropical flair (umbrella optional but highly recommended), and let the good times roll!
