CLAIM JUMPER MAI TAI
This cocktail requires the homemade mai tai mix from page 229, which should tell you from the start that it’s going to be good. Of course you can go the lazy route and use a pre-made mixer, like the one made by Mr & Mrs T.

If you want to serve your guests a masterful mai tai, take the time to really make it rock.

6 ounces (¾ cup) mai tai mix

splash Bacardi 151 rum
