Mai Tai

By angielaine

Tobin and I first enjoyed this recipe at dinner with Rieber and Teresa at their first home in Altus, OK. In celebration of us moving to Hawaii, this was a very appropriate cocktail choice. After months of me asking Tobin to get the recipe, he finally came through and we were able to share it with guests in our Waikiki apartment! This is a strong drink, play around with the alcohol and the grenadine which makes it very sweet!

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup pineapple juice
