Mai Tai

Mai Tai means “Out of this World”. It’s a traditional cocktail with both dark and white rum, triple sec, almond syrup, lime and a retro cherry garnish. It is a perfect drink to take in afternoon or evening, especially in summer. If you like, you can give a little color and sweet flavor with a blow of grenadine. Also a bit of sugar suits well because it has strong flavor.
