Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz dark rum preferably Jamaican
  • 1 oz white rum
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz passion fruit puree or juice
  • ½ oz orange curaçao
  • ½ oz orgeat almond syrup
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • Crushed ice
  • Garnish: lime wheel mint sprig, and a slice of fresh passion fruit

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker,
  • strainer
  • glass,
  • jigger,

Method
 

  1. Chill Your Glass: Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Cocktail: In a shaker, combine the dark rum, white rum, fresh lime juice, passion fruit puree, orange curaçao, orgeat syrup, and simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker—enough to cool everything down.
  3. Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. The goal here is to chill the ingredients and create a slight froth from the passion fruit puree.
  4. Serve: Dump the ice water out of your chilled glass. Fill the glass about halfway with crushed ice and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
  5. Garnish Like a Pro: For the finishing touch, garnish your Mai Tai with a lime wheel, a sprig of fresh mint, and a slice of passion fruit for an extra tropical feel.

Notes

• Adjust the sweetness by playing around with the simple syrup and passion fruit quantities.
• If you like a smokier flavor, try using a splash of aged rum or mezcal.
