Thanks for these riffs since I'm a huge Mai Tai fan

[@lewismaclean8849]

All these look unbelieveably good. Would love to see you do a mai tai variation where you split the base between Cachaca and a good Demerara rum. Keep up the great work Lui. Also great dance moves my man.

[@Lui_Fern]

That sounds delicious! I'll have to give that a try. 😁🙏🏼

[@lewismaclean8849]

@@Lui_Fern Perfect. Call it the Brazilian Mai Tai. Also a video idea, frankenstein two different drinks together into one amazing recipe. Examples being a old fashioned with a daiquri, a mai tai and a hurricane (call that a Mai Hurricane or a Storm Surge.) Would love to see your creativity go wild.

@@lewismaclean8849I was watching this and was thinking of the absolute same thing before I read your comment. I just bought a bottle of Cachaca and was thinking of doing exactly what you described. I also was thinking about doing a Caiprinha/Mai Tai combination.. cane sugar, muddle limes, add orgeat, curaçao, cachaca and then funky Jamaican rum!

[@lewismaclean8849]

@@nickkatherina Awesome.

[@mkemp63]

This is perfect! I picked up a bottle of Paranubes last month and was thinking of using it in a cocktail.

[@jeffb1013]

clarified classic mai tai is fantastic as well

[@pco9672]

Rye-Tai is one of my favorite Tiki drinks to make at home!

[@royrivas963]

Keep them coming @Lui. More more please!!!!❤

[@Lui_Fern]

Happy you like this one friend!

[@JeffreyPisarek]

I like doing riffs where I replace lime juice with acid-adjusted pineapple or pomegranate juice. Brings in that nice acidity without having to also add lime juice to the cocktail.

Tia Mia is so good.

[@nicktheflybradley]

Hi Lui, very interesting show! I do my own Mai Tai rum mix using Woods, Smith & Cross, Goslings 151 and Appleton 8. It works a treat across all the riffs I’ve tried. Do you still follow the English football? Nick from York

[@Lui_Fern]

Hi Nick, that sounds like a great mix of rums! And yes of course! Been supporting United since 2009. Don't plan on stopping anytime soon or ever. even when it gets frustrating lol

[@AETønnessen]

Nice orchid

[@brianmurphy3352]

Good post. After a trip Hawaii, I was really disappointed with Mai Tai experience. Forced me to do some research. I am a big fan of the classic - liked your balance but 2 oz of Jamaican rum is a lot. I premix 4 rums that I like and so make it easy to pour. Everyone should find their preference - but I like mixing in some agricole, aged non-Jamaican, etc. make a blend that you like.

[@claudebarnes6784]

If you dont have Oregat, an easy substitute is almond extract + simple syrup

[@miksologia]

Damn it man! My todo list just got 9 drinks longer.

[@ot6033]

No chapters, No recipe cards at the end of each drink, no recipes in description. Enjoy watching you, but will stick to Steve and Anders

[@Lui_Fern]

Lmao tell them I said hi.

[@jimklemens5018]

Orgeat is pronounced or-zhaat if you speak English or or-zhaa if you speak French.
