Cheater's Mai Tai
A true mai tai is made with orgeat, a specialty almond syrup. Some versions use almond syrup that you'd buy in the coffee aisle (such as Torani), but we opted instead to swap in amaretto. The result: A drink that's simpler to make than the original but just as dangerously delicious..
