Here is a recipe for one of my favorite drinks. ?

Mai Tai

Ingredients

1 jigger orange syrup

1-1/2 jiggers curacao

1-1/2 jiggers dark rum

1 jigger light rum

3 jiggers lime or lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger

Half-fill large old-fashioned glasses with all ingredients, add finely crushed ice, garnish with pineapple sticks and serve with straws

The garnishes are optional if you do not want to put them in you do not have to. ?However if you do add the pineapple and them chill the drink for about 30 minutes the flavor of the pineapple will mix in and add a very definitive taste.

Jigger is a measuring "shot glass" used by most bartenders.

Bets Mai Tai's to date Barefoot Bar at the Hale koa in Waikiki.
