Cocktails & Clothes: Mai Tai’s and bikinis

Mai Tai
New series! I needed something to replace my books and booze series, and problem solved!Pairing classic cocktails with outfits, Cocktails & Clothes just seemed like the obvious answer. Since I haven’t left my house in what feels like 45 years, pouring a classic cocktail and playing dress up once a week sounds like fun. And what better to pair with the cutest yellow striped bikini from Solid & Stripe and some cat-eye shades from TOMS, but a Mai Tai?

The Mai Tai was originally created by Victor Bergeron at Trader Vic’s in Oakland, CA. Like a lot of Tiki drinks the original specs for the Mai Tai is a bit of a mystery and has subsequently been recreated and modified many times over the years. While some versions of the Mai Tai involve adding fruit juices, but I prefer the paired down version that is rumored to be closest to the original.

Cheers!
