The Mai Tai is a classic cocktail that offers a delightful escape in a glass. It combines rich Caribbean rum with bright citrus flavors and a smooth almond sweetness, creating a timeless tropical treat. While it originated in Polynesian pop culture, its roots lie in the Caribbean rum tradition. This drink artfully balances bold dark and white rums with zesty lime, floral orange curaçao, and silky orgeat syrup. Served over crushed ice and garnished with fresh mint and lime, it’s a breezy concoction that can be made in just five minutes, whisking you away to sun-soaked shores.
