Pistachio Mai Tai

Garnish: spent lime shell, mint sprig

Glassware: Double old-fashioned

Combine all ingredients with 12 oz crushed ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until a frost forms on the shaker and pour the entire contents into a double old-fashioned glass. Garnish with the spent lime shell and mint sprig, arranged like a tree on a little island.

Original: Mai Tai Nᵒ 1

The Strato is a really delicate spirit with low sugar content that provides a pillowy-soft nutty flavor when floated, elevating the orgeat. The rum is a blend as follows:

  • 1 oz Hampden Estate 8yr

  • ½ oz Doctor Bird

  • ½ oz Clairin Le Rocher
