Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Trader Vic Mai Tai Cocktail.
Step 1
To start your refreshing Mai Tai, grab a rocks glass and fill it with a generous cup of crushed ice.
Step 2
Pop it in the freezer to chill while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Step 3
Next, take a fresh lime and cut it in half.
Step 4
Squeeze the juice from both halves into a cocktail shaker, but don’t toss away one half of the rind just yet; you’ll need it for garnish later.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add some tropical flair! Pour in the Jamaican rum, orgeat syrup, orange curaçao, and rock candy syrup.
Step 6
Toss in a cup of ice, secure the shaker lid, and shake it all up vigorously until everything is beautifully chilled.
Step 7
Once your glass is nice and frosty, retrieve it from the freezer and place the reserved lime rind inside for a burst of citrus aroma.
Step 8
Carefully strain the delicious Mai Tai mixture over the lime rind, allowing the vibrant colors to mingle.
Step 9
To finish, gently float a sprig of fresh mint on the edge of the glass, adding a pop of green and a hint of minty freshness.
Step 10
Now, sit back, sip, and enjoy your tropical escape in a glass!.
