My take on the Hundred Dollar Mai Tai...with video :) - Tiki Drinks and Food

For me, the mint completes the Mai Tai. It gives the finish a really refreshing taste which does it for me. When I'm outside, I'll also add a sprig on top next to the cherry to bring it out even more. Cherries are a must for me because their sweet aroma really brings out the flavor when drinking. When everything is mixed just right, I tend to drink a little too quickly... :) One thing that can easily break the drink is too much lime. I usually keep the lime between 1/2 - 3/4 oz and let the other ingredients do the rest. If you have an orgeat recipe or references online that you're happy with, I'd love to give it a try. Sounds like fun. -dave [ Edited by: Deckhand_Davy 2008-11-12 07:33 ]
