Mai Tais

While I'm drinking one, I thought I'd share my own very good (I never said I was humble) Mai Tai recipe, so here goes:

2 shots sweet and sour mix
1 shot gold rum
1 shot pineapple rum (I prefer Malibu)
1 shot orange liqueur, like Gran Gala
1 shot amaretto
Dark rum for floating

Fill a large shaker about 3/4 of the way with crushed or cracked ice. Add all ingredients except the dark rum. Shake really well until very cold. Fill 2 lowball glasses about 1/2 way with crushed ice. Pour the shaken drinks evenly between the 2 glasses, leaving about 1/2 to the rim. Float dark run on top of the each glass. Garnish if that's your thing with an orange slice and stick of fresh pineapple. Pretend you are in Hawai'i.

Yum!!
