Mai Tai is an iconic tiki-style drink, associated with exotic flair and an intense, multi-layered flavor. Citrusy notes, a touch of sweetness, and a distinctive aroma have made it one of the most popular tropical drinks for years.
Recipe for a Mai Tai drink
Preparing the alcoholic base with essence:
- Pour 4 liters of high-proof alcohol into a container.
- Add Jamaica Rum essence.
- Mix everything thoroughly.
- Set the drink aside for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld (for the best taste and aroma, we recommend waiting 7 days).
Tip: When preparing a smaller amount of liquor, use the indentations on the essence bottle, which help measure the proportions - 10 ml of essence per 1 liter of alcohol.
Preparing the drink:
- Into a shaker or blender filled with ice cubes, pour: the previously prepared alcoholic base, triple sec liqueur, almond syrup, and lime juice.
Tip: Instead of a cocktail shaker you can use a regular jar. To get a thicker foam, you can shake the drink twice - first with ice, then without.
- Shake vigorously for a few seconds until the ingredients combine and chill.
- Add fresh ice cubes to a glass.
- Strain the cocktail into the glass using a cocktail strainer.
- You can garnish the drink with mint and lime.
