  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd.
  • Although the addition of almond extract may sound unique, you'll definitely want to include it. It lends such a great flavor to the mai tai, and it won't taste like almonds. 
  • Be sure to pour this mai tai into glasses that are filled with ice. A bit of melting ice will give you the perfect flavor balance.
  • It goes great with some Slow Cooker Kalua Pork sandwiches and Poke Bowls.
