Classic Mai Tai
This iconic tiki drink is built in extravagant tropical style. It starts with rum, but layers two sweeteners—nutty orgeat and orange curaçao—with just enough lime for a citrusy punch. Garnish with abandon; the visual impact is part of its allure.

¾ oz. orgeat syrup
¾ oz. dark rum, for floating
