*measurements are per drink
2 oz. rum (we recommend Myers Rum)
½ oz Triple Sec
¾ oz Malibu
2 oz pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple; we especially like using fresh pineapple)
4 oz orange juice
2 tsp lemon or lime juice
Float of grenadine
Mix all ingredients except for grenadine in a shaker. Serve in a funky tiki glass (or high ball) with crushed ice. Pour a float of grenadine on top. Make sure to top with a paper umbrella and some fruit slices.
The quarantimes are tough. You’re stuck in isolation, washing your hands to the bone, eating historic relic food items from the forgotten corners of your kitchen pantry. That’s why we turned to the classic, tropical, deliciously refreshing Mai Tai. It brings a casual excitement to your isolated weekend evenings. We recommend serving with a paper umbrella to add to the illusion that you’re at a cozy tiki bar and not isolated at home for the twelfth weekend in a row.
As we start our third month of social distancing, I think that we can all agree that there have been struggles, and personal triumphs, and hard days, and really beautiful ones too. Amidst all of this we are sending all of you love and hope this recipe brings you some joy.
