Mai Tai Recipe
I’m a sucker for tiki drinks, especially the classic Mai Tai, however most recipes are so strong that I go from 0 to 60 in just one drink! This recipe is much more mellow yet full of the flavor of paradise! Perfect for any Luau Party or tropical cocktail hour!

INSTRUCTIONS
Ever since we made our own in-home bar, I’ve started collecting fun tiki drinkware and this cutie is from Bullseye’s Playground at Target! Select a fun tiki glass and fill it 3/4 with ice cubes. Add each ingredient without mixing, finishing with a float of dark rum.
Serve the drink unmixed since the layers of color make for a beautiful presentation. Be sure to include a cocktail stir stick or reusable straw to mix the Mai Tai before enjoying! Let us know what you think of this Mai Tai cocktail in the comments below!
