Menehune Juice
The Menehune Juice is a different tiki take on the classic Mai Tai. It offers a refreshing and slightly lighter option compared to its rum-blended cousin. Light Puerto Rican rum forms the base, providing a clean and subtle spirit character. Fresh lime juice adds a bracing tartness, while orgeat syrup, with its almond and marzipan notes, lends a touch of nutty sweetness. Simple syrup balances the flavors for a touch more sweetness than a traditional Mai Tai. This vibrant cocktail, often garnished with a mint sprig and a lime wedge, is perfect for those who enjoy a refreshing tiki drink with a touch less complexity.
