Ingredients
- Pineapple Juice, orange juice, and lime juice are going to give the bulk of this drink.
- A classic mai tai uses orgeat syrup – it’s the flavor you always wonder what exactly it is when you’re drinking this amazing cocktail. To make sure it’s non-alcoholic, I use Torani Orgeat Syrup or Skinny Mixes Almond Syrup. Basically orgeat is almond flavor.
How to make a Virgin Mai Tai Mocktail
- Use a short cocktail glass filled with ice.
- Once you add the juices and syrup be sure to stir the drink.
- We love to add a grenadine float on top for color and a little extra flavor.
- Garnish with lime slices or a lime wheel, small orange slices and a pineapple wedge. You could also add some maraschino cherries.
- To make a party punch: Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings and add to a large pitcher or big punch bowl. Use frozen fruit to keep it cold without watering it down like when you make Virgin Sangria.
- If all the juices and syrups are too sweet for you, add some seltzer water.
