Mai Tai... Suggest?

Is your idea of a Mai Tai a syrupy, pinaepple-drenched sugar bomb that tastes more like a melted popsicle than a serious cocktail? You’re not alone, but we’re here to tell you: That’s not a real Mai Tai. That’s tourist bait. On this episode of Thirsty Thursdays, we’re rescuing a titan of tiki from a life of crime. We honor the original 1944 Trader Vic’s masterpiece by ditching the cheap juice and fake mixes. Then, we give it a rebellious, modern twist that will change how you see this drink forever. Forget what you know. This is the Maui Tai you deserve.
