I've been fooling around with some new (to me) cocktail recipes. One that is really excellent if made properly is the Mai Tai. Not a shot of rum with a bunch of foo foo fruit juice, but the legit Trader Vic Mai Tai...the original. I just had Bacardi on hand but a nice gold or even dark rum would make this pop I think. Or an ounce of each.
2 oz. good rum
.5 oz orange curacao
.5 oz. orgeat (sweet almond syrup)
.5 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
shake with ice and strain into your glass. Excellent. What do you guys got besides bourbon?
