Lono Hollywood Mai Tai

The Lono Hollywood Mai Tai is a highly complex and bold Mai Tai recipe employing a sophisticated blend of several Jamaican & Guyanese Rums. The addition of macadamia pays tribute to the nutty flavor of Trader Vic’s original, while a non-standard whisper of vanilla feels right at home in this Polynesian dream. Whereas, many modern Mai Tais taste nothing like a true Mai Tai, this interesting variant tastes very similar to the original, but with the flavors enhanced. A must try. Beware … that 151 packs a punch!

What Is In The Lono Hollywood Mai Tai?

The Lono Hollywood Mai Tai ingredients are Rhum JM VO Rum, Appleton Estate Signature Jamaican Rum, Smith & Cross Rum, Coruba Dark Jamaican Rum, Lemon Hart & Son 151 Rum, lime juice, orgeat syrup, macadamia milk, and vanilla demerara syrup.
