Mai Tai is my favorite cocktail. I have tried many different mixes over the years. Yesterday I decided to give this recipe a try and I have to say it is 5 stars! Next time I will use a little less lemon/lime juices, but I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)

Great Mai Tai! I made it using orgeat instead of grenadine and it was FAB (although a quality grenadine would also be good!).

YUUUUUMY! I just got back from Oahu, Hawaii and had the best mai tais the whole time I was there. Your recipe is VERY close to what I enjoyed on the islands. The only thing I did differently was to float a little extra dark rum on top. And add a tropical flower, still trying to keep that Hawaii vibe going!! Thanks so much for posting!

I enjoyed this tonight as I watch the clean-up on the Daytona 500 track. I did not have any simple syrup, and did not want to make any either. So the next time I make this I will only use 1/2 lemon and lime, that is if I still not not have simple syrup. Made for Best of 2011 Cookbook Official Game
