I'm not a big fan of Mai Tais, but this recipe is actually pretty good. It's not too sweet and the flavors are well-balanced.

This Mai Tai is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try using less orgeat syrup next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this Mai Tai. The lime juice and orgeat syrup really complement each other well.
