Mai Tai Cocktail Drink Recipe HD 

Why? What's wrong? There are so many variations of different cocktails...what makes this one so horrible?

@@prettycoke it's not like a Sex on the Beach where there's 14 different recipes. There's only one way to make a proper Mai Tai: 1oz lime juice .5oz Orange Curacao .5oz Orgeat .25oz Simple syrup 2oz of dark rum, either a blend of Jamaican & Martinique, or a variation.

Jiigii probably the dumbest comment I've ever seen on RU-vid

The host said "there are many versions of this drink", as according to the history it's creation is claimed by two different bartenders who have recipes that vary from one another. What separates the men from the boys is... Taste. You have to taste the variations to choose which one works best. For instance, the humble Rusty Nail is basically a mix of scotch whiskey and Drambuie served in a iced rock glass, but the proportions of each affect the final product. The whiskey used makes a real difference too. My introduction to this drink was half and half Drambuie and Jonnie Walker Red over ice cubes. Not brilliant, because the JW Red was harsh and stiff, and only behaved as time passed due to the dilution from the ice melting. Substitute that for The Famous Grouse or, Glenfiddich (👍) for example. Then there's the ice shape - cubes or crushed? Then there's the level of dryness - more or less Drambuie? Do you rub the rim of the glass with lemon zest? Do you muddle a piece of lemon zest first to make the drink drier and the aromas less sweet? As mixologists, you have to be part artists and part chemists, because your techniques and knowledge of ingredients create the final product. So, I'm going to say that because of time and money, recipes can and should be adapted, where the original recipe cannot be recreated or nailed down, as your ultimate job is to make a good drink. So, yes where you can make authentic recipes but don't be a hostage to fortune. Train your palate, experiment, and learn. Be creative.

If you don't want to hear the tale, skip forward to his demo. And watch this to consider why not all cocktail recipes are good ones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i_t3bB9diH8.html.

Yeah, but neither one of those recipes has grenadine!

@@BigHenFor this is basically a sweet TGI Fridays drink. that isn't a Mai Tai. Its a drink for people who hate the taste of alcohol. There's no need for the long winded dissertation.

@@BigHenFor Bar Tails and Cocktails huh? Come on, this recipe is a poor and lazy attempt which takes nothing from the original and is very similar to their "Hurricane" recipe, (which contains vodka). This channel is the worst to learn from. But its a good trainwreck.

Thank you for being a beacon of light on this dark, dark channel.

Hahahaha!

This is what happens when people who do not bake make a cake for you.

I bet. There is zero grenadine in a Mai Tai. That is weird as hell.

That is correct. There is no pineapple juice. There are no standards here. Worst place to get cocktail recipes on the tube imo.

amaretto is very cheap as it is.

almond syrup

Use Orgeat, it's cheaper and what is actually used in fucking mai tais

Orgeat is cheaper than amaretto and is what this drink actually calls for. ¾ oz fresh lime ¼ oz rich demerara syrup ¼ oz orgeat ½ oz Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao 2 oz blended aged rum (El Dorado works very well) Combine with crushed ice and shake well. Pour into double rocks, garnish lime husk/ mint.

Nothing amaretto is not in a mai tai Well actually the whole recipe has nothing to do with the mai tai

Something they made up. Just like this mess.

Raul RomeoTV Margarita rocks. With Salt.

But I doubt this is how they made your mai Tai. That drink looks like something that would rot your teeth and give you a splitting headache

It's easy to make orgeat, and all bars should have it.

Im going to try to make a hamburger out of jello.
