Red Robin Mai Tai

on


The Red Robin Mai Tai is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is made with a blend of rum, orange liqueur, orgeat syrup, and lime juice, and it is garnished with a lime wedge and a maraschino cherry.

I first had a Red Robin Mai Tai at a Red Robin restaurant, and I was immediately hooked. The drink was so delicious that I knew I had to learn how to make it myself. I experimented with a few different recipes, and I finally came up with a version that I love.

Here is my recipe for Red Robin Mai Tai:

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ounces white rum

  • 3/4 ounce orange liqueur

  • 3/4 ounce orgeat syrup

  • 3/4 ounce lime juice

  • Ice

  • Lime wedge, for garnish

  • Maraschino cherry, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Combine the rum, orange liqueur, orgeat syrup, and lime juice in a shaker with ice.

  2. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.

  3. Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice.

  4. Garnish with a lime wedge and a maraschino cherry.

Tips:

  • If you don't have orgeat syrup, you can substitute almond syrup.

  • To make the drink ahead of time, combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, simply pour the cocktail into glasses filled with ice and garnish.

  • To make a non-alcoholic version of the drink, simply substitute club soda for the rum.

Story:

I first had a Red Robin Mai Tai at a Red Robin restaurant with my family. We were celebrating my birthday, and I was feeling adventurous. I had never had a Mai Tai before, but I was intrigued by the name.

The drink was served in a tall glass with a generous amount of ice. The color was a beautiful golden brown, and the smell was intoxicating. I took a sip, and I was immediately hooked. The drink was sweet and tart, with a hint of almond. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

I've been making Red Robin Mai Tais at home ever since. It's a great drink to serve at parties or get-togethers. It's also a great drink to enjoy on a hot summer day.

If you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, I highly recommend trying the Red Robin Mai Tai. It's sure to become a new favorite!
