The Art of the Tiki Classic: Crafting a Perfect Mai Tai
In short: Learn how to assemble a proper tropical cocktail using traditional techniques. This guide breaks down the specific proportions and preparation methods required to create an authentic Mai Tai.
To craft this classic drink, you begin by combining 1oz of El Dorado 6-year-old Silver rum with 1/2oz of Curacao or a similar orange liqueur. This is balanced with 1oz of freshly squeezed lime juice.
The preparation relies on shaking all ingredients together in a shaker filled with crushed ice. The final drink is poured unstrained into a tiki mug or large rocks glass and finished with a garnish of mint and a spent lime shell.
