Mexican Mai Tai
Our resident mixologist Erin Hawley is back with this weekend’s cocktail, the Mexican Mai Tai.
MEXICAN MAI TAI
A twist on the classic Mai Tai cocktail that is a little less sweet than the original, and incorporates tequila.
It’s citrusy, bright, and refreshing. A great way to kick off the weekend!

Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces resposado tequila
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce orange curacao I like to use Cointreau Noir
- 1/2 ounce orgeat see notes
- Citrus salt
Instructions
- To make citrus salt, grate the zest of an orange and a lime with a microplane. Stir the zest into salt and let it sit for 10 minutes (to allow the oils from the citrus to coat the salt).
- Rim a rocks glass with the citrus salt. Shake the tequila, lime, curacao, and orgeat with ice and strain over ice into the salted glass.
Notes
*Small Hand Foods makes a nice orgeat.
