A MAI TAI A DAY…

As a part of the Mai Tai rum combo cocktail-blog coverage i have made a couple different Mai Tais, mostly from demerara rums.I know the Mai Tai had dark Jamaican rum first, and then was paired with a Martiniqan rum, but i think demerara rums makes awesome Mai Tais and the whole idea of this rum combo coverage is to, well, try different rum combos..

The  coverage on the other 3 blogs will contain enough rum combos to cover most needs for tasty Mai Tais…rumdood alone have some 118 rums to choose from…So together we will all hopefully cover enough various rum combos to keep most thirsty Mai Tai lovers happy regardless of where you live, we hope there will be something for everyone. Keep an eye on these blogs as their posts are on their way and rumdood is going to post more on the Mai Tai.

Our best rum combos will also be posted in a wrap-up on the mixoloseum blog. The whole january and into february has been and continues to be Mai Tai month for us, we are working with various rum combinations in our search for the tastiest Mai Tais all based on Trader Vics recipe, as well as attempting to set the recipe for a real Mai Tai straight.
