Glossary: mai tai

A potent mixed drink made with light and dark rums, orgeat syrup, curaA§ao, orange and lime juices and any other touches the bartender might add. It's served over ice and garnished with a skewer of fresh fruit. The mai tai is said to have been created by Victor Bergeron, the original owner of Trader Vic's restaurant, who said he created it for a couple of Tahitian friends. On tasting it, they reportedly exclaimed, 'Mai Tai!'
