Mai Tai
2 oz Medium Bodied Jamaican Rum
1 oz Lime Juice
.5 oz Orange Curacao
.25 oz Orgeat Syrup
.25 oz Simple Syrup
Shake all ingredients with small broken ice. (Crushed ice dilutes the drink too quickly.)
Double Rocks Glass, Short Tiki Mug
Garnish: Expressed mint sprig, 1/2 Lime Shell
Notes: The 2 oz of rum can be divided into a blend of 2 rums, but should always include some type of Jamaican. Dark Jamaican/Rhum Agricole Vieux, or Black Jamaican/Barbados are popular combinations.
