NO JUICE OTHER THAN THAT FROM A FRESH SQUEZZED LIME!

No orange, pineapple, apricot, mango, what have you juice. You add juice other than the lime; you don’t have a Mai Tai. It’s time for you to come up with a different name for the drink you have in your hand.

Mai Tai:
Rum
Curacao
Orgeat
Lime

Like most well crafted cocktails, simplicity at it’s finest
No Sweet & Sour mix. You have that with the Lime and Curacao & Orgeat. Matter of fact, NEVER use Sweet & Sour mix in any drink but one… the name escapes me right now.

Well, at least that’s how I make a Mai Tai, Rich
