  • 1 ounce orange juice
  • ½ ounce grenadine
  • ¾ ounce dark rum
  • 2 pieces chopped pineapple for garnish
  • 2 maraschino cherries for garnish

Recipe Tips

For the most authentic Mai Tai experience, use quality aged Jamaican rum in place of basic white rum if available. The layering technique with dark rum requires a steady hand—pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon to create the perfect float. For the best flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled versions.
