A Mai Tai is a classic summer cocktail. Rum combines with amaretto and pineapple and orange juices for the ultimate tiki bar treat! If this little concoction doesn't put you in a Hawaii state of mind, then nothing will.
We first fell in love with Mai Tais back in 2011 when we were married on the island of Kauai. We bummed around the island for our honeymoon too, and found the best little tiki bar on the north shore that served killer Mai Tais. Here I am from way back then at that little tiki bar. Notice the two Mai Tais on the table in front of me. I'm sure they didn't last too long after this photo was taken. :)
Mai Tai
1.5 oz spiced rum
1.5 oz. coconut rum
1 oz. amaretto
6 oz. pineapple juice
4 oz. orange juice
splash of grenadine
maraschino cherries/ pineapple wedges for garnish
- Combine rums, amaretto, and juices in an ice-filled shaker and shake.
- Pour into a large ice-filled glass.

So, there you have it. Such a simple cocktail to mix up. Cold, fruity, yummy. Ummm, now that's summertime treat. Enjoy!
