When I have the time to hang out with my family, one of our favorite dinner hangouts is..."Red Lobster". kids, crab legs, biscuits. What else right? They have this drink called the Mango Mai Tai. It's sooo good. It's cool, fruity and not too much alcohol...I read the ingredients on the menu to see if I could try to make it at home and it was simple...
Pineapple Juice
Orange Juice
Mango Rum
Grenadine Syrup
Thats it. So the following weekend I decided to try it.
After a 90 hour work week, I deserved it. Here's what I used:
Malibu Mango Rum (sweet and delicious)
Dole Orange Pineapple Juice
Rose's Grenadine Syrup
Plenty of ice
Shaker
Pour the mango rum and the Orange pineapple juice over ice, shake and pour. Add a few drops of Grenadine and there it is.
Because the Malibu Rum is sweet you can add quite a bit to the juice mixture. I like more juice than alcohol, but to each his own.
I liked the Dole Orange pineapple Juice combo because it comes out thinner than using the orange and pineapple juice separately.
As you can see the drink is pretty transparent and not thick. Add a pineapple and cherry garnish and enjoy. Multiple times.
I also make a Coconut Rum version of the Mai Tai.
It's just as awesome!
