Classic Mai Tai

introvert but willing to discuss Mai Tai specs.

Here’s my take on a traditional Mai Tai. To me, Wray & Nephew overproof is non-negotiable. It brings that iconic funk that Jamaican rums tend to to lend to tiki cocktails and this one is no exception.

Do you have you own Mai-Tai spec? Whats your take on it?

Cheers y’all.
