Anyone on here do traditional mai tais? Do you have preferred white and dark rums for them?

When you're done with your Capt. Morgan, keep the nice cork for your Bumbu. Fits perfectly.

I have a pretty good mai tai recipe actually. I'll share it - it has both light and dark rum. Note this is for 1 serving size:

1.5 oz light rum
.75 oz Cointreau
.75 oz orgeat syrup (this is a key ingredient and use a high quality product, like this one here)
3 oz orange juice
3 oz pineapple juice

Mix & shake all ingredients over ice in cocktail shaker, then strain into a tall glass full of crushed ice. Guaranteed the drink will taste better if it's in a tiki glass

Garnish with a maraschino cherry, and add some of the maraschino syrup.
Finally, float a bit of dark 151 rum AND regular dark rum on top but do not stir. I use Gosling's rums. Stick a straw in it and serve.

I do

1oz dark rum
1oz light rum
.5 oz orgeat
.5 oz agave syrup
.5 oz lime juice
.25 oz dry Cointreau

Then I triple that recipe to make two glasses. Shake all together and pour over ice. Throw in a luxardo cherry or three.

Yep - yours is the more traditional (original) recipe and if you use good rums, will showcase their flavor.

Mine is sweeter with the 2 juices, but we usually serve with Chinese food so it provides a good balance.

Guess I'll play... Just a sample of my extensive Rum collection. I've become a Connoisseur over the years...

KenB925 · 12-16-2021, 11:18 AM

Plantation 20th is still my favorite, but the Triple Aged Dos Maderas is making a move.

I need to try the FOURSQUARE with some ice, its surprisingly smooth for being 120 proof, but the 'fire' needs to be tamed a little bit.

IRNM3 · 12-16-2021, 11:20 AM

If anyone ever comes across a bottle of Pyrat Cask please let me know. Still my fave all time bottle and have been looking for another bottle for years!

Alfisti · 12-18-2021, 09:51 AM

Got me some basic Platation Reserve, the cheap stuff. It is OUTSTANDING, so smooth. Goodness me.

fiveohwblow · 12-18-2021, 05:24 PM

Decided to take two recommendations from this thread to add to my 21 year Flor de Caña. I’m really starting to dig rum!

The Kanichê I grabbed after tasting it in store. Had to have more!

You have done well... Yes. I have been recommending Plantation XO for a couple of years now on this forum. It is my favorite spirit and I have sampled countless. I keep several amazing varieties in my bar at all times.

The Bumbu XO is fantastic... too fantastic.

Mine is out as well. I will say, I prefer the Plantation neat and Bumbu with some rocks. Both excellent.

Lady Jane · 12-31-2021, 09:22 AM

Went to replenish my stocks this morning after some of the boys dropping by this week for some sampling. Got the Kraken on special.

I had a few leftovers from different brands that I "blended" in one single bottle. Is that wrong?

The one on the right (from Barbados), is my favorite.

When my eyes are getting tired towards the end of the day, this looks like the Bum thread.
