ABOUT
This Mai Tai variation was created in 2019 by Jeremy Oertel at Donna Bar (Brooklyn, NYC). The name very much tells you what you’re going to get. The red bitter liqueur is front and center here, though you still get all the components of the Mai Tai you love: orange, lime, and almonds (orgeat). Cheers y’all!
