Mai Tai Cocktail

A Mai Tai is a boozy blend of coconut and spiced rum, triple sec, orange and pineapple juices, and a splash of orgeat syrup and grenadine. Mix up a batch for a taste of the tropics to enjoy with friends and family this summer.

When you’re lounging outside in the summertime, it’s easy to imagine you’re in an island paradise — even if you live in New England! And if you really want to feel transported to a tiki bar on a white sandy beach, mix up a Mai Tai for a taste of the tropics.

Refreshing, fruity, and spiked with a blend of sweet and spiced alcohols, Mai Tai drinks are fun to sip when the weather is warm and the sun is starting to set.

In addition to being delicious, they look like a pink sunset in a glass!

Thanks for sharing such an amazing recipe, made it for friends last weekend and everyone loved it!
