This Mai Tai is the perfect summer drink. It's refreshing and delicious, and it's easy to make. I love to serve it with a pineapple wedge and a cherry on top.

I've made this Mai Tai several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up overripe pineapple and it's so refreshing and delicious.

This Mai Tai is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a nice strong rum flavor. I used dark rum, which gave it a bit of a smoky flavor that I really enjoyed. It's a great drink to sip on a warm summer evening.
