Mai Tai

A Mai Tai is a classic cocktail featuring a blend of rum, lime juice, and orange liqueur, typically garnished with fruit and sometimes a mint sprig. It combines light and dark rums to create a layered, flavorful drink with a balance of tartness, sweetness, and a hint of tropical fruitiness. Originating from tiki culture in the 1940s and 1950s, the Mai Tai is known for its vibrant, exotic character, making it a popular choice for those seeking a refreshing, flavorful cocktail with a touch of island flair.
