A quality falernum adds complex clove-led flavours to a classic Trader Vic Mai Tai

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.

A great Mai Tai. Love the spices of the Falernum in it. Very well balanced and just a great Drink everybody who loves a good Mai Tai should try.

I feel like this should have been the original Mai Tai. It's more pared down and approachable than the Trader Vic's version, and perhaps even a bit better balanced.

I like this is a lot, especially when you start experimenting with different rums. But for my own spin on things I add the Angostura as a float at the end, on top of the drink after it's shaken. You get more of that spice of the Ango up front and as it dissipates with each sip you still get that lingering albeit not so strong aromas of it on top of the great drink
