Life is good and my husband and I love enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail on a weekend or the end of a long day. We learned some amazing rum drink recipes at Beaches Resorts when we traveled there in October and are excited to continue sharing them with you. Last week we shared one of my favorite rum drinks, Another Day in Paradise. This week I am back with a classic drink that everyone loves – an easy Mai Tai recipe. And if rum isn’t your alcohol of choice, don’t worry we have plenty of other cocktail recipes for you!
An easy Mai Tai recipe that reminds you of the beach and vacation is a must for every home and a guaranteed hit for happy hour.
This recipe from Beaches Resorts is a tried and true favorite in our home. I hope it brings some Caribbean love to your happy hour as it does ours.

This easy Mai Tai recipe is a must for every party for a guaranteed good time! We had so much fun at Beaches Resorts and loved learning so many new rum cocktails during our Mixology class.
