No “EVAH” is not a typo…I am from Massachusetts and that’s just how we talk!
Do you love a great Mai Tai? Do you think you can only get a good one at a restaurant? Think again! This is a fantastic and hard to find Mai Tai cocktail recipe you can make for a party or just make a jug to have in the refrigerator for a few weekends.

If you need to substitute anything, I only recommend substituting a different rum brand. You will need both light and dark rum. The Timmy’ sour mix is a key ingredient and using a pre-made mix or another brand won’t result in the same great taste!
This is made in a gallon jug.
Don’t need that much? See the recipe notes below.
