MAI TAI RECIPE

This easy Mai Tai most closely resembles the 'Tahitian Beer' home-fermented beverage of the French Polynesia. It is easily mixed under open ocean conditions with simple ingredients. Note that a 'dash' is considered ~3-5 drops.

Fill glass 3/4 with pineapple juice

1-2 ounces rum (various international flavors and strengths o.k.)

1/2 teaspoon grenadine syrup

*Dash lime juice (concentrate o.k.)

*Dash almond extract

This no-frills Mai Tai is consistent under all conditions and comparable with most popular recipes.

*Note: The lime and almond add 'depth' and authenticity to the Mai Tai, but can be substituted for extra grenadine for a lighter and cleaner Mai Tai, as is often served in establishments. Orange juice can also be used in conjunction with, or replacement for, pineapple.
