    [..YouTube..] According to the inventer of the Mai Tai Trader Vics this is NOT the recipe. THIS is the ORIGINAL recipe: 2 ounces 17-year-old J. Wray Nephew Jamaican rum
    1/2 ounce French Garnier Orgeat (almond syrup)
    1/2 ounce Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao (triple sec)
    1/4 ounce Rock Candy Syrup
    juice from one fresh (key)lime

    Hand shake and garnish with half of the lime shell inside the drink and float a sprig of fresh mint at the edge of the glass.

    Ditto, grenadine is a common spoiler of Mai Tais, along with orange and pineapple juices.

    Yes, I agree with Trader Vic’s original version.
    Use orange curacao not triple sec. Orgeat not almond liquor, lime juice period. No OJ, Pineapple juice or grenadine. Don’t forget the fresh mint.

    [..YouTube..] thats NOT Mai Tai you ass!!! you can call it as you wish, but not Mai Tai.
    The ORGINAL recipe was made in 1944 and cemott3rd paste it write.
    In my country i cannot buy those orginal drinks so i make it:

    30ml light rum
    30ml dark rum
    15ml tripple sec
    15ml almond syrup
    10ml grenadine syrup
    15ml fresh lime juice

    [..YouTube..] that is the actual recipe. however, most bars don’t carry orange curacao or orgeat syrup, so this is an acceptable and very common alternative.

    Don’t get confused and think i am sticking up for this guy. I do not think he should be running a bartending school. many of his many of his recipes are wrong, and no PROFFESIONAL bartender uses a jigger.

    [..YouTube..] the recepie iv got is – SHAKE wray nephew, a golden and light rum with a dash of almond syrup, a couple squeezes of lime and grand marnier topped with orange and pienapple shaken. then drop grenadine through and float woods navy on the top. The exact measurements are up to you, although be careful of making the drink too sweet. This guy needs to take more care – always taste what you are making and garnish with style!

    [..YouTube..] So you REALLY want to make a more authentic, minimal 1950s style mai tai? If you do your research and keep all the extra bullshit out like grenadine and pineapple juice here is what you get basically:

    -bucket glass of ice (snow cone crushed if you can)
    -1oz white rum (Bacardi)
    -1oz dark rum (Myers)
    -1/2oz or 1oz Orange Curacao (to your taste)
    -freshly made sweet&sour (lemonade)
    -squeezed lime and 1/2oz orgeat optional

    you can shake and pour or just stir in the glass and you’re done. Enjoy!

    [..YouTube..] The more authentic, minimal 1950s mai tai:

    bucket glass filled with crushed/shaved ice
    1oz light rum (Bacardi)
    1oz dark rum (Myers)
    1/2-1oz orange curacao (not triple sec)
    top with fresh sweet&sour
    lime juice and/or orgeat syrup is optional
    shake or stir and serve with a pineapple/cherry/silly and/or silly umbrella to embarrass your friends and family.

    Enjoy!

    [..YouTube..] Orgeat syrup is not optional; mai tai’s require an almond element. Orgeat can be replaced by almond syrup since orgeat is harder to come by.

    [..YouTube..] Grenadine actually means pomegranite (which are native to Grenada). Traditional Grenadine syrup:Squeeze 1 cup fresh pomegranite juice (you can use pom if you prefer)simmer over low heat and add 2 cups good sugar (I use demerrarra sugar to make mine) until desolvedadd 1 sprinkle hibiscus blossoms (to darken color)1 tsp pomegranite molasses1/2 tsp orange blossom waterbring to a soft boil for 2 minuteschill and strainYou can add a shot of overproof vodka to keep it longer also

    [..YouTube..] EVERY real professional bartender uses a jigger! Cocktails are chemistry and if you don’t get the proportions correct, your cocktails wont taste right! I know how to free pour but don’t because you can always make mistakes that adversely affect the taste of your drinks. When using a jigger, I KNOW that the proportions are correct.That being said, the rest of your comment is spot on: this guy is a tool and should have NOTHING to do with training people in the craft of bartending.

    [..YouTube..] @jtiano I noticed when you use the jigger, you also pour a little bit from the bottle while emptying the jigger. Is that because you can’t completely fill the jigger itself?

    [..YouTube..] It’s an old bartenders trick. You pour into the jigger aboutg 2/3 of the way full and than keep pouring for a few seconds. The customer thinks they’re getting a bigger drink than they are.

If people are making drinks which could be made better or are giving out false recipes for classics without saying they are a new variation on a classic then its good for bartenders to remedy the fault so ‘incorrect’ (in the loosest terms) recipes and techniques are not passed around..mai tai- dark rum,lime, TS and orgeat.. as Vic made it

    [..YouTube..] I agree with mufasahootenanny, When one comes to this video looking or the Mai Tai recipe I would expect that they at least tell the youtube community that this is not the Original Mai Tai but a personal version that one might be able to make easily with what is available at most home bars if not all outdoor bars. That being said, this version is no way even close to what a true authentic Trader Vic Mai Tai made from scratch would taste. Not knocking your video but just setting it straight.
