How to Make a Mango Mai Tai

Most mai tai drinks are garnished with a pineapple slice and an umbrella.

The name mai tai is derived from a Tahitian word for "good," which is how most of the drinks turn out. Like most mai tai drinks, the mango version features multiple ingredients and has a reputation as an ideal pool side drink.

Things You'll Need

• 1/2 shot sweetened lime juice
• 1 shot grenadine
• 1 shot amaretto
• 1 shot orange curacao
• 1 shot mango rum
• 4 shots pineapple juice
• Cocktail Shaker
• Shot glass
• Hurricane or highball glass
• Cocktail umbrella
• Pineapple slice for garnish
• Straw

Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients in a glass.

2. Pour the contents into the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

3. Strain the drink into a glass filled with ice. Garnish the glass with the pineapple slice and a cocktail umbrella.

Tips & Warnings

• For the non-alcoholic version, substitute orgeat syrup or almond flavoring for the amaretto, orange juice for the orange curacao, and 1 tsp. of rum flavoring and 1 shot of mango nectar for the mango flavored rum.

• Substituting orgeat syrup for the amaretto will increase the sweetness of the drink.

• Do not drive after drinking.
