Mai Oh Mai!

As the heat blankets the Southeast like a hot, sticky beach towel you didn’t ask for, it’s time for a cocktail that doesn’t just cool you down, it transports you somewhere better. Somewhere breezy. Somewhere with waves crashing and steel drums playing in the distance.

Enter: Mai Oh Mai! 🍹

This vibrant, tiki-inspired twist on a classic Mai Tai is your go-to drink for beating the summer blaze, whether you're poolside, porch-swinging, or blasting your A/C like it owes you money.

🌺 The Recipe

• Start with a fun, tropical glass full of ice

• 2oz Rum (I used Botran, which is an aged, silver rum...Delicious!)

• 1 oz Dark Rum (Cayman Spirits makes the best Dark Rum!)

• 0.5 oz Triple Sec

• 0.5 oz Orgeat Syrup

• 2 oz Pineapple Juice

• 1 oz Orange Juice

• Stir all ingredients and enjoy!

Why It Works in the Heat 🔥

When the Southeast serves up temps in excess of 90°F days with suffocating humidity, the last thing you want is something heavy or fussy. Mai Oh Mai! is juicy, tropical, and just the right amount of strong, like a beach party in a glass. The rum blend adds complexity without weighing you down, and the citrus + orgeat combo keeps things fresh, not syrupy.

It's a cocktail that tastes like a vacation, even if you’re sipping it in your backyard with a box fan blowing directly on your face.
