My Ty (Mai Tai Cocktail) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 ounces premium rum (Havana Club - 7 yr is good)
1/2 ounce clear Curacao
1 lime, juice of
1/2 ounce orgeat syrup (if you cannot find orgeat syrup try CharlotteJ's Orgeat Syrup)
1/4 ounce simple syrup
1 dash grenadine, for color (optional)
float dark rum

Preparation

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and strain into a cool old fashion glass filled with crushed ice.
Float dark rum.
Sink half of the lime shell with a maraschino cherry stuffed inside. Orchids are a nice garnish as well. If orchids are unavailable a fresh mint sprig will always do. Enjoy!
