I love Mai Tais and I love Margaritas, so on a whim, I decided to mix these classic recipes together to see what happens. To my surprise, the result is muy delicioso! I call it the Mai-Tairita!

2 oz. Patrón Silver Tequila
1 1/2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz. St. James Martinique Rum
1 oz. Appleton V/X Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Señor Curaçao of Curaçao Liqueur
1/4 oz. Demerara Cane Sugar Syrup
1/4 oz. Orgeat Syrup
1/2 Spent Lime Shell

Shake all ingredients except for lime shell with 1/2 cup of crushed ice. Pour into a large snifter or margarita glass, then fill with more crushed ice. Drop in the lime shell and garnish with mint.

Note: you can also rim the glass or snifter with rock salt unless you're a hypertense kind of guy like me.
