Sabrina’s Mai Tai Recipe
This Mai Tai cocktail is packed with citrus flavor, rich dark rum and bright white rum. You’ll need a few special cocktail ingredients including orange curaçao and orgeat, which you can get at most big grocery chains or at the liquor store. I like to serve them with crushed ice for the perfect refreshing drink, and you can easily make your own with a couple bursts of a food processor. Whether you’re actually at a beach-side restaurant or just hanging out in your backyard, this summer cocktail will give you the feeling of a carribean vacation!
