King Kamehameha Mai Tai Recipes

MOBILE MAI TAI

Steps:

• In a small pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, white rum, lime juice, grenadine and almond liqueur or syrup/extract. Set aside.
• Using a paring knife, make the straw holes in the center of the lids of 2 "to-go" cups larger by expanding the "X" large enough so that the top of a mini bottle of rum fits through it. Using the paring knife, make another "X" in the lid for a straw hole. Set aside. Fill the to-go cups with ice. Divide the prepared Mai Tai between the two cups. Add a cherry to each.
• Unscrew the cap from each mini bottle of spiced rum. Invert the prepared lid and place the nozzle of the bottle into the expanded straw hole in the center of the lid. In one quick motion, place the top of the bottle into the cocktail and secure the lid on the cup. This will create a vacuum that will distribute the spiced rum in the cocktail as you drink it. Add straws to the second straw holes and sip away.
