For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Experiment with different types of rum to find your perfect blend. A dark rum can add depth, while a light rum keeps it bright. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a tightly sealed mason jar will work in a pinch. Adjust the grenadine to your liking; more for sweetness, less for a drier cocktail. Consider adding a splash of orgeat syrup for a more authentic Mai Tai flavor.

Aug 21, 2024I loved the addition of the coconut rum, it really made it pop. I did add a bit more grenadine because I have a sweet tooth. Thanks for sharing!
