Whether you’re looking for a margarita alternative or a fruity rum concoction, this frozen treat is the perfect way to liven up your cocktail rotation.
Meet the fabulously classic Mai Tai from The Fold: Botanas and Bar. According to their staff, “A Mai Tai should not be too sweet, too bitter, or too boozy, but a perfect balance of good rum, floral notes, citrus and sweet almond, with focus on quality ingredients.”
Pure poetry.
So give their recipe a try, but if you’d rather stay out of the kitchen altogether, The Fold is located at 3501 Old Cantrell. Business hours are 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, then back to 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. on Sunday.
