Mai Tai (Difford's recipe)

I love Daiquiris and this is basically a classic Daiquiri with a few bells and whistles: orange curaçao, lime juice, almond syrup, amaretto, falernum...

Ooh, no. This ain't it chief. Sorry. The OTT nature of a Mai Tai is to flex on your selection of rums, not to add random liqueurs (creme de menthe? really?) you find. The complete lack of any jamaican rum to begin with should disqualify it.

Avery, I think you’ll find that Appleton Estate 8 Reserve is a Single Estate Jamaica Rum.
Personally I don’t add the Crème de menthe as I don’t have any, but use the rest of the ingredients. So far I’ve not had any complaints.

When I clicked "Caribbean Aged Rum," it showed me Don Q 7-year. Does it show you Appleton?

Good call. The full body and 43% abv is great here. I cut the the Creme de menthe to a generous dash (approx. quarter of a spoon?) and it all integrates beautifully.
