Not even close. In this episode, we’re shaking (and stirring) things up with *four distinct versions of the iconic Mai Tai**, spanning from legendary tiki origins to our own bold ube creation. We’ll cover the history, flavor profiles, and exact specs — including **ml conversions* — so you can master each version at home.

Trader Vic’s Mai Tai (1944 Original)* Created by Victor Bergeron in Oakland, CA, this version is the most widely accepted “true” Mai Tai. Designed to highlight the character of aged rum, it’s a perfectly balanced drink — rich, nutty, and tart. 2 oz (60 ml) aged Jamaican rum 1/2 oz (15 ml) orange curaçao 1/2 oz (15 ml) orgeat 1/4 oz (7 ml) rich simple syrup (aka rock candy syrup, 2:1) 1/2 oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice Garnish: spent lime shell & mint sprig *2. Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai (Precursor Style)* A heavier, spicier take that predated Trader Vic’s — and arguably isn't a “Mai Tai” at all. Donn Beach loved layered flavors, and this one packs bold tropical spice. 1.5 oz (45 ml) dark Jamaican rum 1 oz (30 ml) Cuban-style or column still rum 0.75 oz (22 ml) velvet falernum 0.75 oz (22 ml) orange curaçao Dash of Angostura bitters Dash of absinthe Garnish: mint and cherry *3. Monkeypod Mai Tai (Modern Hawaiian Favorite)* A beloved modern twist from Monkeypod Kitchen in Maui. Fruity, foamy, and fun — this version adds a tropical passionfruit foam for texture and drama. *TOASTED MACADAMIA ORGEAT* https://www.savidgekitchen.com/provis... 1 oz (30 ml) light rum 1 oz (30 ml) dark rum 1/2 oz (15 ml) orange curaçao 1/2 oz (15 ml) Toasted Macadamia Orgeat 3/4 oz (22 ml) lime juice Passion fruit honey foam (blend of liliko‘i purée, honey syrup, and egg white) Garnish: passion fruit foam float *4. Savidge Kitchen Ube Mai Tai (Our Signature Creation)* Bright, bold, and undeniably purple — this version skips the orgeat and goes straight for the creamy, nutty depth of **ube syrup**. A fresh and vibrant spin that keeps the soul of the Mai Tai while creating something entirely new. *UBE SYRUP* https://www.savidgekitchen.com/provis... 2 oz (60 ml) dark rum (Barbados or Hawaiian recommended) 0.75 oz (22 ml) orange curaçao 0.75 oz (22 ml) Savidge Kitchen Ube Syrup 0.75 oz (22 ml) fresh lime juice Garnish: mint, spent lime shell --- 🧊 Crushed Ice vs. Pebble Ice — What’s the Difference? Great tiki drinks need great ice. Here’s the breakdown: *Crushed Ice:* Hand-smashed or blender-chipped, this style melts quickly and dilutes the drink fast, ideal for bold flavors that need taming. *Pebble/Nugget Ice:* Machine-made and uniform, it offers a soft chew and slower melt rate — think Sonic ice. It’s perfect for sipping and visually iconic in tiki mugs. For home bartenders, pebble ice gives that *authentic tiki texture* 💧 What Is TDS — and Why It Matters in Your Cocktails TDS = *Total Dissolved Solids* — a measurement of minerals, salts, and other matter in your water. It directly impacts your cocktails in two critical ways: 1. *Taste:* High TDS can make drinks taste metallic, chlorinated, or just "off". Low TDS = clean flavor. 2. *Ice Behavior:* Impure water freezes cloudy, melts faster, and affects dilution unpredictably. For best results, aim for **filtered water with a TDS between 50–200 ppm**. It’s the invisible ingredient that keeps your drinks tasting sharp and balanced.
