Mai Tai-tini

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Today’s Mai Tai-tini isn’t really a martini since a Mai Tai is typically served in a glass with ice.  But heck, why not strain it into a martini glass and call it a “tini”?  Works for me!

Mai Tai-tini My dad first got me started making Mai Tai’s at home a long time ago.  He would fill a glass of full of ice, add some Bacardi rum, then add orange juice, pineapple juice and a little cherry juice from a jar of maraschino cherries.  Then he would top it of with a splash of Meyer’s dark rum and garnish with a pineapple chunk and cherry on a toothpick. They were so good and really quite simple to make. This Mai Tai-tini is inspired from all those delicious Mai Tais!
