Cheers to the grand re-opening of Trader Vic's in Portland! From 1959 to 1996 Trader Vic's provided Polynesian delights galore. Owner, Victor Bergeron, claims to be the inventor of the Mai Tai so it is in his honor I bring to you his famous recipe. Manuia!
Trader Vic's Mai Tai
1 1/2 ounces aged Jamaican rum
1/2 ounce orange curaçao
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce almond syrup
1/4 ounce simple syrup
Shake and strain over crushed ice into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a mint sprig and cherry.
