Mai Tai (Classic Tiki Drink) Recipe

Mai Tai (LCBO friendly version of) Trader Vic's Classic Recipe

           Ingredients:

                  1 oz. Freshly squeezed Lime juice

                  1 oz. Orgeat

                  1/2 oz.Triple Sec*

                  2 oz Dark Jamaican Rum

                  Fill Glass with ice and shake

                  Garnish: drop lime shell in glass as garnish, mint sprig

*Original 1944 recipe calls for Orange Curacao which isn't available in Ontario,by substituting Triple sec it raises the sweetness which is why i upped the lime juice.
Blue Curacao can be substituted for Triple Sec (gives the drink a weird greenish hue)
