1/4 oz of orange curacao is a nice addition

Made again, this time with a full measure of Appleton Estate 12 and my homemade pistachio orgeat. I think I like this version better. This orgeat is a bit nuttier, and the aged rum adds a nice depth that was lacking in my first attempt.

A very nice drink indeed. I used an even split of Smith & Cross and Appleton Estate, Liber & Co orgeat, and Tipplemans falernum syrup. Rich, spicy, and complex, but with the underlying almond smoothness from the orgeat.

Tried with home made falernum (from agricole rum), home made Orgeat, and Smith and Cross jamaican rum. Very, very complex and spicy, very enjoyable. Would like to try it with a more neutral rum, it's the second time I use Smith and Cross and the second time I find that it gives a very strong profile to the drink.

This is delicious! Rich and full-bodied while simultaneously refreshing with the lime, and then clove/spice thrown into the mix for complexity! I used Bacardi 8, Velvet Falernum, and Liber & Co. Orgeat.

Spice of falernum improves (IMO) the Mai Tai - very nice!

Editing note: the link in the review takes one to your recipe, not to Trader Vic's.

Used plantation xaymaca and homemade orgeat, outstanding drink that is a great way to showcase the bright character of Jamaican rum.
