A brief and mostly accurate history of the Mai Tai. I do take issue with his use of Agricole in the rum mix though.
Welcome! Thanks for posting! I’ll definitely check this out tomorrow when I have some time.
Have you had the Cutwater Mai Tai in a can? https://www.cutwaterspirits.com/canned-cocktails/tiki-rum-mai-tai
Never seen it. It doesn’t appear to be available in Oregon at all as far as I can tell, so that would explain why.
Ahh, maybe just a SoCal thing. I tried it and didn’t think it was bad. But I haven’t had too many fresh mai tais in my time either. I’ve never been a big cocktail guy. Just getting into it after discovering the whole tiki subculture revival.
I’ve got everything I need to make this except orgeat syrup. I’ll have to get some and try this.
