[..YouTube..] So you REALLY want to make a more authentic, minimal 1950s style mai tai? If you do your research and keep all the extra bullshit out like grenadine and pineapple juice here is what you get basically:
-bucket glass of ice (snow cone crushed if you can)
-1oz white rum (Bacardi)
-1oz dark rum (Myers)
-1/2oz or 1oz Orange Curacao (to your taste)
-freshly made sweet&sour (lemonade)
-squeezed lime and 1/2oz orgeat optional
you can shake and pour or just stir in the glass and you’re done. Enjoy!
[..YouTube..] The more authentic, minimal 1950s mai tai:
bucket glass filled with crushed/shaved ice
1oz light rum (Bacardi)
1oz dark rum (Myers)
1/2-1oz orange curacao (not triple sec)
top with fresh sweet&sour
lime juice and/or orgeat syrup is optional
shake or stir and serve with a pineapple/cherry/silly and/or silly umbrella to embarrass your friends and family.
[..YouTube..] Orgeat syrup is not optional; mai tai’s require an almond element. Orgeat can be replaced by almond syrup since orgeat is harder to come by.
