Mai Tai

This is our favorite Hawaii beverage!! For Halloween it became "eye tai" for obvious reasons:

I liked the taste of this recipe quite a bit and felt it was pretty close to the good ones we had in Hawaii, here it is:

The Perfect Mai Tai
adapted from allrecipes.com

Ingredients:

• 2 cups light rum
• 2 cups dark rum
• 1 cup orange curacao (orange flavored liqueur) or triple sec
• 1 cup almond flavored syrup or almond liqueur like amaretto
• 1 cup simple syrup (2 cups of sugar and one cup of water, boiled until dissolved)
• 10 limes, juiced
• 1/2 gallon fresh orange juice or other juice (I found a mixed tropical juice for this!)

Mix all ingredients together and serve with LOTS of ice. Beware this drink is delicious and strong!! Enjoy.
