Making the Mummy Mai Tai is super easy.
- I start by filling the shaker with ice. This chills everything nicely.

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! 🍹
