Скачать или смотреть The Grinch Mai Tai That Stole Christmas One Sweet Sip at a Time

This episode explores the Grinch Mai Tai, a neon-green, holiday-party twist built around Midori, pineapple juice, and white rum. It starts as a super-sweet, 80s-style citrus bomb, then evolves once Jamaican rum is added for depth. The video covers the full build, modifications to reduce sweetness, garnish tips, and why this drink lands low on a Mai Tai scale but works as a playful seasonal cocktail. Perfect for holiday pop-ups, themed parties, or anyone wanting a bright, novelty Christmas drink.

RECIPE (ORIGINAL)
2.5 oz white rum
1 oz orgeat (or reduce to 0.75 oz if sweetness is an issue)
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz Midori
0.5 oz triple sec
Shake hard with ice.
Strain into a martini-style glass.
Garnish with a lime “Grinch tree” and a moonshine cherry.

RECOMMENDED IMPROVED VERSION
2 oz white rum
1 oz Jamaican rum
0.75 oz orgeat
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz Midori
0.5 oz triple sec
Shake hard and strain.
Same garnish. More balance. Less syrupy. Better rum structure.

HIGHLIGHTS
The original build is extremely sweet and one-note.
Adding Jamaican rum adds backbone, funk, and improves the finish.
Still not a Mai Tai—more of a holiday novelty cocktail.
As a Mai Tai: 2 out of 10.
As a fun holiday drink: around a 3.
Best served ice-cold, preferably at a party, not in winter by the fire.
