Caribbean Island Mai Tai
Today, the Mai Tai is the notoriously flamboyant icon of the cocktail world, but it hails back to the California of the 1940s. Conceived by the irascible one-legged Trader Vic, this rum cocktail’s popularity was so extraordinary that it led to a global rum shortage, right up into the 1950s.
These days the Mai Tai is a gateway to Tiki cocktail culture. A throng of craft rums evoke all the imagery of a tropical beach surrounded by palm trees and sugarcane, while the refreshingly tart lime cuts through the heat. As your senses still recover, the final assault comes from a bouquet of almond and orange, leaving your taste buds feeling like they've been hit by Iron Mike.
Served over crushed ice, this is the ultimate island escape drink to take you away somewhere exotic. You can almost hear the waves crash on the beach and the feel of warm sand between your toes. Somewhere in the distance, sounds the playful jingle of a steel drum, filling the air with Caribbean rhythm.
THE STORY
When you think of timeless rum cocktails, the Mai Tai always heads the list of a cocktail menu. Searching for a story to fit this iconic cocktail, naturally we headed to the realms of pirates and the Caribbean, and stepped into the polished black boots of a sailor in the British Admiralty.
Life at sea for a sailor was hard. Most conscripts had never left their home town and had joined up mainly to see the world, wages being poor at the time and travel being out of reach for most. Part of the pay package was a daily ration of rum, to keep “spirits” up. This was of course navy strength, so called because it needed to be high enough in alcohol content to still be flammable if spilled on gunpowder. Every day, whilst sailing beautiful, undiscovered waters such as the Caribbean, the sailor would have a short time at the dawn of each day to appreciate the beauty around him, over a shot of rum.
Starting with a wonderfully rich aged rum, we created a lovely layering of flavours by blending in crisp white rum, and a golden spiced rum from the same region. Over this trio of rum goodness, we combined it with tart lime and sweet almond, completing the perfect moment for a hard-working sailor, with our Caribbean Island Mai Tai.
