Mai Tai

The Mai Tai cocktail is a popular tiki drink that originated in California in the 1940s. It is made with rum, lime juice, orange curaçao, and orgeat syrup, and is typically garnished with a sprig of mint and a slice of pineapple. The cocktail was created by Victor J. Bergeron, also known as Trader Vic, and was inspired by his travels to the South Pacific. The Mai Tai became a sensation and helped to popularize tiki culture in the United States, and remains a beloved classic cocktail today.
