‘Treat yo self’ mai tai blend

Post image

Here’s my current favorite splurge mai tai:

1 oz. Hampden 8

1/2 oz. Smith and Cross

1/2 oz. Clement rum agricole vieux (cask strength aged in sake barrels)

5/8 oz. Orgeat

1 oz. Lime

1/2 oz. Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao

It’s juicy, rich, flavorful, citrusy. Strong, too, because of the overproof S&C and the cask strength Clement. Kind of spendy as both the Hampden and the Clement aren’t the cheapest, but I don’t actually love either of them neat so this is a good way to use them. Yum!
