Mai Tai cocktail

A Mai Tai is a popular tropical cocktail known for its vibrant flavors and refreshing taste. It typically combines light and dark rum with lime juice, orange curaçao, orgeat syrup (a sweet almond-flavored syrup), and sometimes grenadine. The drink is shaken with ice and served over crushed ice, often garnished with a lime wedge or fruit. The balance of citrus, sweetness, and rum creates a flavorful, smooth beverage that evokes a beachside or vacation vibe. Originally created in the 1940s, the Mai Tai remains a classic choice for those seeking a fruity, spirited drink.
