Let’s be careful out there.

Unfortunately,you can’t always trust every Tiki recipe out there. If fact,many are pretty bad. But fear not,you can trust your Uncle Giltron. I’m willing to risk my sanity and rum to bring you mixes you can trust.

I use Fee Brothers orgeat for most of my mixings. It’s pretty good. Too bad the ‘Mai-Tai’ recipe on the bottle is just plain wrong:

2oz light rum
1/2oz lime juice
1/4oz orgeat
1/4oz curacao

Just for funnsies,I gave this a try. Yeah,it sucked. Too lime-y and tart. Fortunately,I was able to fix it by adding simple and upping the lime,orgeat,and curacao to where they should be. So I was able to make it a white rum Mai Tai and not completely waste my rum. Once fixed,it was ok,but Mai Tais really need to be made with dark rum. At least I was able to finish it.

So listen to your Uncle Giltron,follow my mixings and you won’t have any regrets….other than a hangover.
