Serving Size

Equipment

First, a shaker is key to mixing all the flavors together.
I also use a jigger to measure the ingredients accurately.
A strainer helps keep ice and larger ingredients out of the glass.

Finally, a rocks glass is great for serving and showcasing the drink.

Ingredients

Let’s dive into the tasty stuff! Here’s what I’ll need:

2 oz. light rum
1 oz. dark rum
1 oz. orange curaçao
1 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. orgeat syrup
1/4 oz. simple syrup

For garnishing, a lime wheel and some mint leaves will add a nice touch. These ingredients come together for a rich, balanced flavor.

Instructions

Making the Mummy Mai Tai is super easy.

I start by filling the shaker with ice. This chills everything nicely.
Pour in the light rum, dark rum, orange curaçao, lime juice, orgeat syrup, and simple syrup.

Shake it well for about 15 seconds. This ensures all the flavors blend perfectly.
I then strain the mix into a rocks glass filled with ice.
To finish, I garnish with a lime wheel and a few mint leaves.

That’s it! 🎉 My spooky cocktail is ready to enjoy.

Notes

There are a few things I like to keep in mind when making this cocktail. Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste, so I always try to squeeze it myself. Also, using crushed ice can give the drink a chilled, refreshing feel.

It’s easy to experiment with different garnishes, like adding a cherry or an orange slice. This adds extra color and fun to the drink! 🥳

I hope you enjoy making this as much as I do. Feel free to share your own creative twists in the comments! 🍹

Tasting Notes

Taste: First sip? Sweet pineapple hits my taste buds, followed by tangy lime and the rich, nutty flavor of almond syrup. It’s a perfect balance.
Finish: The rum gives it a warm, cozy finish. I notice hints of dark rum mingling with the sweet syrup, making each sip more interesting.

Tips & Tricks

Making a Mummy Mai Tai is super fun! Let me share a few tips to help you make your cocktail extra special. 🎉

Ingredients Matter

Always use fresh juice if you can. It tastes way better!
Pick a good-quality dark rum for a richer flavor.

Presentation

For a spooky mummy look, wrap the glass with a thin layer of gauze.

Add two small candy eyes on top of the gauze. 👀

Ice Tips

Use crushed ice for the best chilling effect. It melts slower, keeping your drink cool longer.

Garnish Ideas

Orange slices and cherries make great classic garnishes.

You can even use a little mint sprig for a fresh touch.

Mixing Magic

Shake your drink well to blend flavors. A shaker makes it easy to do.
Pour slowly to keep the layers separate for a cool look.

Extra Touch

A splash of almond syrup can make the flavor richer.
If you like it sweet, just add a bit more syrup or juice.
