Mōhala Mai Tai
A traditional Trader Vic’s 1944 Mai Tai featuring Mōhala Expressions Kukui Nut Orgeat instead of the traditional variety made from almonds.
How to make a Mōhala Mai Tai:
Step 1: Gather your ingredients. You will need:
Rum: any rum will work, but I personally prefer my Mai Tai’s with an unaged rum for the base, such as Kōloa White or Kuleana Huihui.
Dry Orange Curaçao: I recommend Pierre Ferrand.
Lime Juice
Mōhala Expressions Kukui Nut Orgeat.
(Optional): I personally like to add a dark rum float on my Mai Tai’s, and my current favorite is Plantation Rum’s O.F.T.D.
Step 2: Build Your Cocktail
Combine 1.5oz of rum, .75oz of lime juice, .5oz of dry orange curaçao, and .5oz of Mōhala Expressions Kukui Nut Orgeat.
Shake combined ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a glass, top with 1oz of dark rum (optional), and garnish with a dehydrated lime wedge.
