In 1944, he tested a new drink on two friends, <strong>Ham and Carrie Guild,<\/strong> who lived in Tahiti at the time.  After the first taste, Carrie proclaimed <strong>\u201cmai tai-roa ae\u201d,<\/strong> which means \u2018out of this world \u2013 the best\u2019 in Tahitian.  Trader Vic simplified her statement and named the cocktail the Mai Tai.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16348\" src=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Imagen-3-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"832\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px\">WHAT TYPE OF RUM IS USED IN A MAI TAI?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Any aged rum will work well in a Mai Tai.<\/strong>  Aged rum is preferred because it works in synergy with the orgeat (almond syrup).  If you want to stay true to the original recipe from Trader Vic, try using an <strong>aged rum<\/strong> by J. Wray &#038; Nephew <strong>from Jamaica.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px\">WHY IS BRANDY DE JEREZ BEST TO MIX WITH A MAI TAI?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Brandy de Jerez<\/strong> is an ideal addition in the Mai Tai because it <strong>enhances the flavor of the dark rum. <\/strong> The <strong>sherry notes<\/strong> from the brandy de Jerez add<strong> complexity and body<\/strong> to the Mai Tai, which makes this cocktail <strong>smooth and delightful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px\">WHAT BRANDY DE JEREZ IS BEST FOR A MAI TAI?<\/h2>\n<p>Best brandy for Mai Tai cocktail is a Solera Gran Reserva. We chose <strong>Lustau Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva<\/strong> due to the <strong>oloroso sherry cask<\/strong> it is aged in, as well as its ten years in the barrel.  The oloroso flavor and age of the brandy make our Mai Tai variation <strong>incredibly bold and dangerously drinkable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1796324991\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1796324991 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"max-width:1043px\" id=\"row-213944841\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-439405027\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px\">HOW TO PREPARE A SIMPLE MAI TAI COCKTAIL<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">1.
