• In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the spiced rum, coconut rum, grenadine, pineapple juice and orange juice. Shake vigorously and strain into glass full of ice.

THE PERFECT MAI TAI

Steps:

• In a large jar or drink cooler, combine the light rum, dark rum, 151 rum, orange liqueur, almond syrup, simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir and top off with orange juice. Do not use grenadine if you want the true Mai Tai! Serve in 8 to 12 ounce glasses with ice.

MOBILE MAI TAI

Steps:

• In a small pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, white rum, lime juice, grenadine and almond liqueur or syrup/extract. Set aside.
• Using a paring knife, make the straw holes in the center of the lids of 2 "to-go" cups larger by expanding the "X" large enough so that the top of a mini bottle of rum fits through it. Using the paring knife, make another "X" in the lid for a straw hole. Set aside. Fill the to-go cups with ice. Divide the prepared Mai Tai between the two cups. Add a cherry to each.
• Unscrew the cap from each mini bottle of spiced rum. Invert the prepared lid and place the nozzle of the bottle into the expanded straw hole in the center of the lid. In one quick motion, place the top of the bottle into the cocktail and secure the lid on the cup. This will create a vacuum that will distribute the spiced rum in the cocktail as you drink it. Add straws to the second straw holes and sip away.

TIA MIA

Steps:

• Into a cocktail shaker, add lime juice, orgeat, curaçao, mezcal, and rum. Fill shaker with ice cubes, and fill rocks glass with crushed ice. Shake cocktail well. Strain into the glass and top with more crushed ice. Garnish with orchid; smack fresh mint against the back of your hand (to aromatize the essential oils) and add to drink along with lime wheel.

MAI TAI

Steps:

• Pour the golden rum, curacao, orgeat, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels really cold.
• Fill a tumbler with crushed ice then strain the cocktail over it. Slowly pour the dark rum over the top so it stains the top of the drink a rusty gold.
• Garnish with fruit like pineapple, lime and cocktail cherries if you like.
