Sips & Tips
Technique
Blend until completely smooth. The dark rum float on top adds visual drama and a hit of boozy richness as you sip. Use a straw.
Balance
Frozen drinks need slightly more sweetness and acidity than shaken versions — cold dulls both. Add a touch more lime and orgeat than you would for a shaken Mai Tai.
