The Tiki Rum Mai Tai is a delightful and refreshing cocktail that combines the tropical flavors of pineapple and coconut with a unique citrus mix, all balanced with the depth of aged rum. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can tell you that this cocktail is truly a vacation in a glass.
To start, this cocktail uses a blend of two of Cutwater's award-winning spirits: the Barrel Aged Rum and the Bali Hai Tiki Gold Rum. These rums are carefully crafted and aged to perfection, bringing a rich and robust flavor profile to the Mai Tai.
The pineapple and coconut flavors play a starring role in this cocktail, adding a tropical twist to the traditional Mai Tai recipe. The sweet and tangy taste of pineapple pairs perfectly with the creamy and nutty notes of coconut, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
But what truly sets this Mai Tai apart is the unique citrus mix. Cutwater has carefully selected a combination of citrus fruits to add brightness and balance to the cocktail. This mix adds a refreshing zing that cuts through the richness of the rum and complements the tropical flavors perfectly.
I have personally enjoyed many Tiki Rum Mai Tais, and each sip brings me back to a sunny beach vacation. The combination of the aged rum, pineapple, coconut, and citrus is simply irresistible. It's like sipping on a tropical paradise, no matter where you are.
