Mai Tai Cocktail
Perhaps one of the most famous tiki drinks in the world, you can find the Mai Tai pretty much everywhere, but it's made a couple different ways. The original mix gives it a bit more of a citrus nutty flavor with the orgeat syrup mixed with the lime juice and orange liqueur. The remake boasts a more tropical take mixing the pineapple and orange juice with the spiced rum and coconut rum. The added grenadine rounds out the flavor adding just a bit more complexity. No matter which style you decide to make, you won't be disappointed!
