What is the Classic Mai Tai?
The Classic Mai Tai is a ready-to-serve rum cocktail made with premium rum and natural flavors featuring lime, toasted almond, pineapple, and mint notes. Brody's take on the iconic 1944 Trader Vic recipe — bottled at 24% ABV, all-natural, with no artificial flavors. Double Gold winner at the SF World Spirits Competition. 375ml glass bottle, 3-5 servings per bottle.
How do you serve a Classic Mai Tai?
Chill the bottle well, then pour over crushed ice in a rocks glass or tiki mug. Garnish with a lime wheel and a brandied cherry, or a mint sprig if you want to lean into the cooling finish. No shaking, no mixing — the cocktail is bottled at the right strength to serve straight from the bottle.
What's the ABV of the Classic Mai Tai?
24% ABV (48 proof). This matches the strength of a freshly made Mai Tai built with real rum at a craft cocktail bar, significantly higher than typical canned RTD tropical drinks which range 4-8% ABV. Full-strength means real rum flavor, not a watered-down approximation.
What awards has the Classic Mai Tai won?
The Classic Mai Tai earned Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition — two years running. Double Gold is awarded only when every judge on the panel independently scores the spirit a Gold medal. It's one of the highest distinctions in the global spirits industry and the only such award held by a ready-to-serve Mai Tai.
What does the Classic Mai Tai taste like?
The richness of rum with zesty lime and toasted almond on the nose, completed with a subtle pineapple and mint finish. The original 1944 Trader Vic combination — balanced, complex, and instantly recognizable as the real thing. Award-winning. All-natural.
