It's Becoming a Hard Slog

I made the Mai Tai and stared at it. There it was, all rummy and waiting for me, daring me to drink. I didn't want to.

I did. Sweet rum.

Mai Tai, meet sink.


Here's What You Need to Make a Mai Tai:
I modified the original homework ingredients with another recipe (Orgeat  syrup was difficult to find, much less pronounce.)

• 2 oz light rum (or, 1 oz light rum, 1 oz 151, Alan)
• 1/2 oz Triple Sec
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• Mai Tai mix (so I cheated)
• splash 7-Up
• cherry
  

Here's How Anne Made the Mai Tai:
Pour into a tall glass with cherry on top.

Manly or Girly? Muy girly
Appearance: Pale yellow

Would I actually order this in public? Nope
