Genever Mai Tai
Another one from the 12BB book. Even though genever is related to gin, it can be substitued nicely into the rum-based Mai Tai.
- 2 oz genever (used Bols)
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz orgeat (homemade)
- dash of aromatic bitters (used Angostura)
mint leaves for garnish(didn't have any)orange slice(didn't have this either)
Shake the first four ingredients, then pour into a tumbler filled with crushed ice. Top with a dash of bitters.
Very enjoyable and strong drink. The balance of sweet and tart was just right for me. Next time, I might up the bitters a little more though. Maybe shake one dash, then top with a second dash.
