Mai-Tai Workshop
Go beyond the recipe and truly understand the Mai Tai. Taste 7 different versions, explore how rum and orange liqueur choices shape balance and texture, and watch a Mai Tai built live before crafting your own with confidence. Hands-on, insightful, packed with bartender tips.About this experience
Understand how a Mai Tai really works — and make it your own with confidence.
The goal of this workshop is simple: help you make a better Mai Tai, not by copying recipes, but by understanding what actually matters.
We start by breaking down the cocktail.
Its structure.
Its balance.
Its key components.
You’ll taste different versions, compare choices, and see how changing one element at a time transforms the final result to understand why they taste different.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore:
• how rum selection changes the cocktail
• how orange liqueurs affect balance and texture
Everything is built around clear frameworks, so you know what to adjust — and why.
Throughout the workshop, Harouna will share practical tips & bartender tricks — small details that make a huge difference in the glass.
At one point, you’ll see a Mai Tai being built live, from scratch.
Choices explained.
Adjustments made consciously.
At the end, you’ll use everything you’ve learned to:
👉 build your own Mai Tai recipe, confidently and intentionally.
All recipes will be provided so you can take notes and recreate them at home.
