The Mai Tai is a Polynesian-style cocktail that has a fruity tropical taste sweet and vibrant. The mixture of light and dark rum, orange curacao, orgeat syrup and lime juice has been a symbol of Tahitian culture ever since the drink was first created. The Mai Tai started as a rum cocktail so popular it supposedly depleted world rum supplies in the 1940s and ’50s.
