MAI TAI

DARK & STORMY
The original trademarked version is held by the Gosling family. It calls for Gosling’s Bermudan rum but any dark rum to accompany a spicy ginger beer will work - just don’t substitute for ginger ale. Apparently many venues that utilise a different rum have had to resort to cleverly renaming the drink to Safe Harbour, in order to avoid litigation from the Gosling’s family.
INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Goslings Dark Rum
- 90mL Ginger Beer
- Lime wedge
METHOD
1. Add ice to your high ball glass
2. Pour the ginger beer ensuring you leave space for the rum
3. Float the dark rum on top
4. Garnish with a lime wedge
