Mai Tai

This is my version of the Mai Tai. I've read lots of recipes and the only item in common is generally the Almond syrup and the rum.

Original Recipe

2 ounces 17-year-old Jamaican rum
1/2 ounce orgeat (almond syrup)
1/2 ounce orange curacao
Juice of one fresh lime
1/4 ounce rock candy syrup or Simple Syrup

Lime slice for garnish
Sprig of mint for garnish
  1. Shake ingredients and pour into an ice-packed glass.
  2. Garnish with lime and a sprig of mint.

Makes 1 serving.

I'm not really partial to this however, since I don't really care for Curacao.

I make mine this way.

1/2 to 1 whole lime (depending on size and flavor)

1/2 oz simple syrup or 1TSP sugar

1 whole orange

1 - 2 oz dark rum

1 - 2 oz light rum

orgeat (1/2 - 1 oz)

1/4 tsp grenadine (for color)

that's it

Pineapple Mojito

This is one of the favorites... It's a bit sweet, but packs a punch.

In an old fashion glass or a pint glass (my way)
muddle 1 whole lime
5 sprigs of mint
1 .5 oz malibu rum
.5 oz simple syrup
1 oz light rum
3 oz pineapple juice
add ice
fill 50-50 with soda water
server in a tall glass...or plastic red cup.

great for the summer.
