Reynolds): https://amzn.to/3BaWm1m Tiki Drink Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5zfqDuFro3xb63a6LnoHY3_YwRLEksmh The Mai Tai is a delicious cocktail that's fairly easy to make if you have access to Orgeat Syrup. If you've got that, the rest is similar to a Mai Tai. You can spend a good deal of time getting the balance right using the traditional recipe or you can make it a bit more sloppy by doing a couple ounces of rum, all orgeat and skip the syrup. Tiki Drinks are fun, Mai Tai's are part of the fun of most tiki drink stories and parties, so you'll want to know how to make one as well as a bit about the history.
