Shake well, then pour the entire contents of the shaker into a large rocks glass. Use the spent lime shell to garnish the top, and add a sprig of mint to decorate. Tama'a maita'i! To make rock candy syrup, heat two parts sugar with one part water, and allow to reduce in a pan for 5 minutes. Try making it with Demerara or light muscovado sugar for a richer-tasting finished drink. Or you can buy branded versions of the product (such as Trader Vic's)."

  "history": {
    "key": "cocktail.mai_tai.history",
    "default": "While it's certain that Mai Tai is one of the great pinups of the Tiki anthology, regrettably this is perhaps the least tropical tasting drink of this family of tropical tasting drinks. In fact, the Mai Tai formula is closer to a Sidecar or Cosmopolitan than it is a punch."

    "default": "A balanced, spirit-forward cocktail with rum at its heart, brightened by citrus and enriched with nutty orgeat and orange liqueur. Less tropical punch, more sophisticated sour."
