About a month ago, Jimmy and I went to Fusion Cuisine for dinner, where I got a Mai Tai to drink. Getting Mai Tai's at Chinese restaurants has always been one of those special things that I never thought I would be able to make for myself at home. Thinking that set me on a mission to give it a try. I found a recipe on allrecipes.com and gave it a try tonight. I was shocked that it actually tasted like one I would get at a restaurant. Pretty dang good for my first try!
- ½ cup light rum
- ¼ cup dark rum
- ¼ cup 151 proof rum
- ¼ cup triple sec
- ¼ cup amaretto
- ¼ cup simple syrup
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 cups orange juice
- Splash of grenadine*
Yields about 6-8 servings
* The original recipe on allrecipes.com says not to use grenadine, but I just added a quick splash to give the same color/flavor of what I'm used to having when I go out.
