Easy Mai Tai Recipe Ingredients

What does it take to make a good mai tai? Mai tais are a rum-based cocktail, so you will want some rum. We used Appleton Special Rum and then our favorite dark rum for this recipe. You can use any rum you’d like, though we suggest sticking with the Appleton Special due to its flavor profile. 

You can’t make a tropical cocktail without tropical juices. This recipe calls for pineapple juice and lime juice. The pineapple adds a good amount of sweetness, but we will go a little further with some orange curacao and simple syrup. Together, these ingredients make up one of the best tropical cocktails around.

Directions for Easy Mai Tai Recipe:

Add all ingredients for this easy Mai Tai recipe to a cocktail shaker and shake.  If you want to reduce the juice a bit you can also do that and then top this Mai Tai with Club Soda for a refreshing twist. Garnish with a slice of orange or pineapple and toss in an umbrella for the ultimate escape.

 

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. Beaches Resorts has activities for everyone in the family making it the ultimate family vacation – so ultimate that we have gone two years in a row.

It is the one place our children wanted to return to this year.
