 Welcome to Drinks Made Easy. Today we're taking a look at the classic Monitide. Now this drink has a bit of a contentious origin because Victor J. Bergeron claims to have invented it in 1944 at Trader Vicks, whereas Don and the Beach Comer says he made it up in 1933. I tend to lean towards Don the Beach Comer, but it doesn't really matter where certain things come from. Kind of like our prison shower tagline, right Mike? It totally matters where it comes from because I made it up. Sure you did. I did. To build the Monitide, you'll start with one and a half ounces of white rum. Next you're going to add half an ounce of fresh lime juice, half an ounce of orange curacao, and half an ounce of orjot. Now this is our easy homemade orjot. You can click in the description or link at the end to learn how to make it at home. Cap it off into a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. Strain into your glass. Add a float of three quarters of an ounce of dark rum. And today we're going to garnish with one of the classic tiki garnishes. Just a half of a lime that's already been juiced that's going to function as our little island and then a mint which is going to function as our little palm tree. And there you have the Mai Tai.

And remember to always drink responsibly because everybody likes to make friends, but no one likes to make them in a prison shower, especially when I made that up. Cheers from Drinks Made Easy. You did not make that up.
