Mai Tai — Royal Hawaiian Style
A strong tropical drink, this will serve one person quite well but you could easily split this between two glasses and share.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- 1 cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 1 oz golden rum
- 1 oz dark rum, plus extra for optional floater
- ½ oz triple sec, orange curacao, or cointreau

- 2 oz pineapple juice, fresh or canned
- 1 oz fresh tangerine or orange juice
