Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is my dear friend Sandra and today we're going to make a Mai Thai
0:05
Mai Thai, yeah. So this is a fun one. It has a few more ingredients than some of the ones we make
0:10
It has all of the rums. But don't be afraid because three of them are rum
0:15
This is the great tiki tradition. It was invented in 1944 in Oakland, California at Trader Vic's Restaurant by Victor Bergeron
0:23
and it's definitely a classic. It's funny. I would have thought it was invented in the Caribbean somewhere
0:31
You would think, but not so. We're going to just put in an ounce each of our light
0:40
Okay. Light rum. Gold rum. Except we're not putting it in there
0:45
We'll just strain it in there just fine. We're going to just restrain
0:50
That'll be just fine. We going to put in gold rum in the same one ounce each One ounce okay And I do have ice in the strainer in the shaker rather
1:07
And then a half ounce each of Amaretto. I'm using Amaretto here
1:13
You can use Orgeat syrup, which is an almond syrup. You can make your own
1:17
You can buy it at a well-stocked liquor store. but none of the ones in savannah have been well stocked enough for us to find it it's not
1:27
necessarily common but it is common to use amaretto which is of course an almond liqueur
1:33
as a substitute if you want to make your own i think it takes about three hours so
1:37
i was going to ask you i think you really need to like orgeat and my that's got it you've got to be
1:43
like dedicated right that's serious dedication so that was a half an ounce of the amaretto yeah
1:49
And then another half an ounce of Cointreau, which is orange. Okay
1:55
So we have rums nuts and oranges Yeah exactly almonds and orange which doesn just sound nice It kind of does I think that sounds great Oh and juice
2:07
Juice. We have a juice lime here, so I'm going to toss that in as well
2:10
Okay, so that's a whole lime? It's the juice of a whole lime. Okay. That's a lot of lime
2:15
That's a lot of lime. Okay, let's try this in
2:28
Okay. Glug, glug, glug. Now. I can smell it. It smells nice, doesn't it
2:36
It really does. So you can go ahead and call this done if you want and garnish it
2:42
but you can also, if you're feeling dangerous. And we're always just being a little risky with our cocktails, right
2:49
So the original Trader Vic's way was to add a float of dark tar grump on the top
2:55
Why not have like I said all the realms I think that that sounds brilliant That a healthy flood That a healthy flood Yes sister So I took when I squeezed my lime I did it in a
3:09
press which flattened it. And this is basically just a spent lime
3:13
I'm going to drop that in there and then a healthy amount of mint. Because mint always makes
3:19
I love lime and mint together. I think that should be a perfume. Or a cocktail. I should invent that
3:55
we're gonna have to drink this one slowly absolutely all right see y'all later cheers
