About
I keep thinking of what my buddy Matthias Soberon (@servedbysoberon) once said, “The quest to find the best rum combination in a Mai Tai is like a Tikilover's search for the Holy Grail." I made this one for my birthday, and the blend of rums I used were *Hampden Estate 8 yr and Smith & Cross. A Mai Tai may be one of my deathbed cocktails (let’s be real, if I’m dying, I’m having more than one drink!).Cheers y’all!
