The original 1944 Mai Tai has its roots in Oakland, California.  As the story goes, a visitor tasted Victor Bergeron's creation (The 'Vic' in 'Trader Vic') and proclaimed the Tahitian expression “Maita’i roa ae" (The best!) and the name stuck.  The original Wray & Nephew 17 Rum is long gone, so we offer you the 1944 Hawaiian Mai Tai featuring two rums of our islands.

This classic is "spirit forward" where the Kō Hana Agricole and Kōloa Rums are the stars of the show, supported by Liquid Alchemist Orgeat (almond syrup), Cointreau, and (always fresh) lime juice.
