The recipe i am about to recite comes from my many dinners at the trader Vic' s in Beverly Hills, inside the Beverly Hilton hotel and many conversations with the general manager (chan rohana) who had been with the trader Vic' s organization for many years. It is considered the official recipe and as close to the original as i could find, although like other cocktails and mixed drinks, recipes do evolve.
2 oz. 17 year old j. Wray & nephew Jamaican rum
1/2 oz. Garnier orgeat syrup
1/2 oz. Dekuyper orange curacao
1/4 oz. Rock candy
Juice of 1 fresh lime (1/4 oz.)
Serve in a 15 oz. Double old fashioned glass with crushed or shaved ice. Garnish with a mint sprig and half of a spent lime shell. Over the years, as the drink evolved, a menahune spear skewered with a cherry and a pineapple chunk was added.
Please keep in mind that there is a good chance that the Mai Tai that you are served in a bar will most likely be a modification of this recipe. For example, simple syrup will be substituted for rock candy. And of course a 17 year old rum will not be used because it's hard to find and it' s expensive. So here we have it, the original Mai Tai recipe by trader Vic.
