National Mai Tai Day

Celebrate National Mai Tai Day with Us—A Toast to a Tropical Icon!

The Mai Tai was born in 1944 at Trader Vic’s Oakland restaurant, where he mixed up a new creation featuring aged Jamaican rum, lime juice, orange curacao, French orgeat, and rock candy syrup. Served over shaved ice and garnished with lime and mint, the result was unforgettable.

Legend has it a guest exclaimed “Mai Tai-Roa Aé!”—Tahitian for “the best”—after the first sip. The name stuck, and the Mai Tai quickly rose to fame as a tropical favorite known for its vibrant flavor and carefree spirit.

Swing by and ‘Tai’ one with us as we honor this legendary tiki classic.
