Rum
Written By Karen Ek

A Mai Tai is a classic tropical cocktail that originated in Polynesian and tiki culture. It's known for its sweet and fruity flavor profile. There are many variations of the Mai Tai, but a traditional recipe typically includes the following ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz 117 West White Rum

  • ¾ oz orange curaco

  • ¾ oz orgeat syrup

  • ¾ oz lime juice

  • ¼ oz 117 West Aged Rum

Shake everything on ice except the aged rum.  Pour into an old-fashioned glass, float the aged rum, and garnish with lime and mint sprig.
