  • Meh. Like a more fruty army navy
  • Quite tasty.
  • In 12 Bottle Bar, p. 154. Nice malty flavor of Bols Genever & peppery spice of Rittenhouse Rye. Upped homemade orgeat to 1 oz & may cut lime to 3/4 oz. Interesting variation on Mai Tai.

  • Used Hefeweizen rather than IPA. Beer adds excellent contrast to Mai Tai.
  • Good. The IPA lengthens and adds a grapefruity bitterness.

Tia Mia

3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Curaçao (Dry)
1 t Sugar
Instructions

Shake and strain over crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wheel, mint, and an orchid.

This works fine made with 1:1 sugar syrup rather than ordinary sugar and you don't have to worry about it dissolving (or rather, not).

  • Corpse Reviver variant
  • Add more Cocchi Americano to balance lime
  • Nice easy-drinking sour. Nonino provides enough sweetness to balance everythng else. Almost tastes grapefruity.
