The Ledgend of the Mai Tai

Today we go super deep into the Mai Tai. A while ago we had the idea of going through all the amazing Mai Tai riffs popping up. This drink is just such a wonderful template and that shows in not only the drink's enduring popularity but also there seems to be a different version or riff on so so many menus these days and not just in Tiki spots. But after discussing it a bit we decided that before doing all the riffs we really needed to tackle the originals. From the drink's inception in 1944 until 1971 there were four major builds on this one drink, and they're all different enough to warrant a little taste testing. So today we're doing all the classic Mai Tai recipes for you guys! Hope ya'll enjoy and see you In the comments!

You can talk about great home made ingredients, top shelf booze and getting the ratios perfectly balanced, but the thing everybody overlooks and what truly makes a Mai Tai an adult happy meal is the salad up top. In the 90's the Royal Hawaiian hotel still had marble bathrooms with bathroom attendants. They're all gone now, replaced with cheap Formica and no guy in an old suit basking in farts and dollar sprays of cologne. What's gone too is the exceptional garnishes they'd put on Mai Tai's. Each one, no matter how many Mai Tais deep you were, were presented with no less than a cherry and pineapple wedge skewered on a paper umbrella along with a mint sprig and the most beautiful orchid blossom ever. How I miss those days, picking people up at the airport, bringing them for a first pacific ocean experience with sandy feet and a perfect Mai Tai in hand trying to keep the new arrival awake until 10 pm so the jet lag wouldn't suck so much. Shout out to bathroom attendants everywhere if you still exist. You may bask in more farts than a returning flight from Cabo, but I miss you. The next Mai Tai's on me. Full salad.

My wife and I visited Kauai'i in 2011 and the Mai Tai's we enjoyed were made with white rum, POG juice (Papaya Orange Guava mix hard to find outside of the islands) and a dark rum floater. We loved them, but discovered the much better Trader Vic's when we got back home. I miss the POG juice version sometimes, mostly because it's hard to find POG juice in the Midwest.

A few years ago, I was in Kauai trying every Mai-Tai that I could, and it was pretty evenly distributed: big hotels and destination resorts did the sweet pineapple ones, and the smaller bars and restaurants did more traditional ones. The best one that I'd had was at a bar near Poipu Beach. It was obviously a cheap well drink version for happy hour, but it was simple and nailed the sweet-tart citrus-almond-rum of the Trader Vic's version. Others at major hotels were really pineapple-forward and geared towards tourists. All of them were good, and I really enjoyed my time there.

@dreyes0007 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Leandro, just something I read: Martin Cate says in Smugglers cove, that the replacement of the Wray and nephew 17 must not include Rhum Agricole, because the Martinique rhum suggested by trader Vic was described as dark and nutty, therefore it probably was a Rhum traditionelle, something more in the likes of a blended black rum. Cate recommends a combination of a long aged blended rum, and a lightly aged pot still rum. Great video! As always! Love ya!

Funny the timing of this video. We just got back from Oahu and spent a week at the Hilton Waikiki Hawaiian Village. I believe it's the birthplace of the "Tropical Itch" (Cough Cough... future video topic, they are AMAZING!). Anyways they did a variation of the Vic's Mai Tai, (Which they call the "Village Mai Tai") The only difference was, on top of the 1-2 oz of gold rum, they added a float of 1oz dark rum. I replicated it at home using Bacardi Gold and Kraken dark rum but that's what's available to me here without traveling 15 miles to a big box liquor store. Still turned out well enough that my wife can't distinguish it from the Resort.

In my effort to make a tasty Mai Tai as cheap and easy as possible, I have had success with: 2 oz Appleton Estate Signature (Already a blended rum and an excellent mixer), 3/4 oz Lime juice, 1/2 oz Pineapple juice, 1/2 oz Cointreau, 1/4 oz Giffard Orgeat. I crush and rub a mint leaf around the rim and drop it on top. Despite the small amounts of flavorings, it's surprisingly well balanced.

@dallasshatel566 3 жыл бұрын

So according to Martin Cate, it likely was not rhum agricole, but a molasses-based funky rhum traditionnel that was used in the adjust recipes. Agricole definitely makes for a good Mai tai, but if we're talking about a historically accurate Trader Vic's Mai Tai, just using all Jamaican is going to get you closer to that, seeing as Le Galion is the only distillery left in Martinique making molasses-based rhums and it's pretty hard to get in the US.

Denizen Merchant's Reserve 8 year is a great option, it was blended with input from Martin Cate with the goal of replicating the original Wray and Nephew 17 year. I agree that the grassy Rhum Agricole seems out of left field for what he was trying to achieve by blending rums to replace Wray and Nephew.

Even though I’m 7 months late, I just wanna say, if anyone donates the 55k, they deserve to come on the show, have Leandro make one drink for them and one for himself, and let the person take the bottle home, because THAT is dedication.

Thanks for the awesome video! 😎 One of our favorite drinks here at The Sunken Haifisch!! 🧜🏻‍♀️ 🦈 I thought the MaiTai Swizzle was earlier , it’s definitely a different taste. I like the QB Cooler. The “Royal Hawaiian” MaiTai was created for the tourists. It’s a juicer drink, easier for the masses. 🌺😂 I prefer the ‘44 Mai Tai any day.

According to Beachbum Berry the Mai Tai Swizzle was from '33, so it's significantly older than the Trader Vic's Mai Tai.
