Starting the weekend with Mango Mai Tai drinks

 



Mango Mai Tai


Garnish

  • Mango slice
  • Pineapple leaf
  • 1 teaspoon Grenadine

INSTRUCTIONS


 Tip the cocktail glass to the side at an angle and add a splash of grenadine to coat the bottom of the glass. Fill the cocktail glass with crushed ice.


Add ice to a cocktail shaker, add dark rum, cointreau, limoncello, mango puree, pineapple syrup, and orgeat syrup, and shake vigorously.


Strain into the prepared glass.

Add a dark rum float to the top. 

 Garnish with a mango slice and pineapple leaf.


Very rich and sweet.  Next time, I'll probably add some soda to dilute.

  1. Excuse me? Excuse me, senor? May I speak to you please? I asked for a mai tai, and they brought me a pina colada, and I said no salt, NO salt for the margarita, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt, floating in the glass...And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole. There was salt on the glass, BIG grains of salt.

  2. All that syrup made it sweet. Anyhoo, I checked the pantry and the only ingredient I have is the rum.

    1. That'll work- dump the "straws"; add more rum and ice.
