Mai Tai Cocktail Recipe: Captain Morgan Rum Infusion

The mere mention of this legendary rum cocktail is enough to evoke images of palm trees, tropical beaches, and endless sunshine. But this drink is more than just a vacation in a glass. It's a symphony of flavours, a perfect blend of sweet and sour, and a rum-forward cocktail that has become one of the most famous Tiki drinks in the world.
The story behind the creation of Mai Tai is as captivating as the cocktail itself. It's said that in the 1940s, Victor J. Bergeron, aka Trader Vic, whipped up the rum cocktail for some Tahitian friends. The rum cocktail recipe created with a blend of curaçao, orgeat syrup, lime juice and rum over crushed ice was a hit, prompting his guests to ask for its name. Drawing inspiration from the Tahitian phrase "Maita'i roa ae," which means "very good," Trader Vic named this drink - Mai Tai. 
The delicious cocktail recipe of Mai Tai features Captain Morgan Dark Rum and Captain Morgan White Rum. The combination of these two rums gives the Mai Tai its rich and complex flavour, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and spice. While the orange liqueur adds a sweet and citrusy note, and the orgeat syrup gives it a unique almond flavour with a slightly sweet and nutty finish. And let's not forget the lime juice, which provides a bright and tangy acidity to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Whether you're sipping this Captain Morgan rum cocktail on a sunny beach, relaxing on your porch, or enjoying a night out with friends, the Mai Tai will not disappoint you. Pick up your bar tools and start whipping this tropical delight today!
