Mai Tai Cocktail
This tropical delight is like a mini-vacation in a glass! It’s sweet, fruity, and oh-so-refreshing. Here’s everything you need to know to whip up this island-inspired cocktail.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz light rum
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur (like triple sec)
- 1/2 oz orgeat syrup
- 1/2 oz dark rum
- Crushed ice
- Mint sprig (for garnish)
- Lime wedge (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a shaker, mix the light rum, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and orgeat syrup. Fill the shaker with crushed ice.
- Shake vigorously, as if your life depended on it! (Okay, maybe not that serious, but you get the idea.)
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice.
- Carefully pour the dark rum over the top – you want it to float like an island cloud! No need for extra stirring here; we want that layered look.
- Garnish your cocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and a cheeky lime wedge on the rim. Voilà! You’re ready to sip away and let the good times roll!
Now that you’ve got the Mai Tai down, your Labor Day party is sure to be a hit! Just remember to share the love (and the cocktails), because it’s all about good vibes and unforgettable memories. So, gather your crew, blast some island tunes, and get ready for a Luau to remember!
