Mai Tai
Oakland, United States|Prep Time: 4 min
Mai Tai was created in mid-century California but draws heavily on Caribbean rum traditions for its flavor identity. Orgeat syrup contributes nutty depth while orange liqueur and lime create tension and freshness around the aged rum base. The drink became one of the most influential recipes of the tiki revival and remains a benchmark for balanced tropical cocktails
