Refreshing, fruity, and spiked with a blend of sweet and spiced alcohols, Mai Tai drinks are fun to sip when the weather is warm and the sun is starting to set.

In addition to being delicious, they look like a pink sunset in a glass!

What Is In It?

There are always different variations of cocktails, so depending on who you ask or where you order a Mai Tai, you make get different things.

This recipe includes both spiced and coconut rum, as well as orange juice, pineapple juice, Cointreau or Triple Sec, and a splash of orgeat syrup and grenadine.

And don’t forget the garnishes, they’re what makes this tropical cocktail so much fun!

But drinker beware: this Mai Tai recipe is boozy! Made with both coconut and spiced rum, plus a glug of orange-flavored Cointreau or triple sec, this cocktail certainly packs a punch.

A blend of pineapple and orange juices, plus a splash of grenadine, give this drink its signature fruity taste and summer sky hue. The orgeat syrup ads a touch of almond flavor that’s key to a classic Mai Tai.

Perfect for parties on the patio, by the pool, or on the deck, Mai Tai cocktails are as pretty as they are tasty!

You can have a lot of fun garnishing these drinks with paper umbrellas, plastic swords, colorful straws, orange slices, maraschino cherries, and pineapple wedges.

Don’t forget the fancy glasses, and opt for shatterproof ones if you’re partying poolside!
