How to Make a Mai Tai | a very tasty tiki recipe!

In this episode, I show you how to make a Mai Tai! This is the first tiki drink on the channel, so it had to be a big one. If you're interested in learning tiki cocktails, the Mai Tai should be at the top of your list. The Mai Tai is to tiki what the Manhattan is to pre-prohibition classics. A lot of people have their own Mai Tai recipe, and that's what's so great about tiki. This cocktail calls for rum, and with so many different styles, you can really make this one your own. The recipe I use is a blend of rums that hit all different flavor profiles. I'll show you a fun garnish using the leftover lime shells from juicing, and top it off with a little fire because it's fun. So get ready, tiki is here! Cheers!
