Friday Summer Cocktail – Mai Tai’s and Chi Chi’s

So I totally flaked on last week’s Friday Cocktail. The week was crazy for some reason and Friday came and went and I totally forgot to make a drink…ooops!

So to make up for the missed cocktail I decided I would make 2 cocktails this week. These are 2 of my all time favourite cocktails!

I LOVE Maui! It is my most favorite place to go. I have been quite a few times, both my sister and my best friend got married there, it just feels good there.

I had both the Mai Tai and the Chi Chi for the first time while in Maui.

They are both tropical and delicious.

Ice

Combine all the ingredients into an old fashioned high ball glass over ice.  Stir to combine.

Garnish with a cherry and a slice of pineapple

For the Chi Chi you need,

1½ oz. vodka

2 oz. cream of coconut

2 oz. pineapple juice

1 cup ice

Combine all the ingredients into a blender, blend until all the ice is broken down and it is thick and frosty.

There you have it, 2 more drinks that taste like summer!

I hope you have enjoyed this summer cocktail series as much as I have!

I can’t believe it will be September in a few days, time is flying by!

I will be going back to doing my usual Favourite Things starting next week!

I hope you all have a wonderful Labour Day Long Weekend!!
