[...] It’s been quite the learning experience. I’ve had to memorize a lot of drinks and been forced out of my very rum-centric comfort zone. The most common drink I make is a Moscow Mule in a real copper mug with house-made ginger beer. After that it’s something of a tie between the Corpse Reviver #2 and – what else? – the Mai Tai. [...]

I am a big Mai Tai fan too. One of my best Mai Tai that I ever made –

30 ml Angostura 1824 (heavy amber rum from Trinidad, approx. 100 USD per 0,7 l bottle in my country)
30 ml Havana Club Anejo 7 Anos (great aged cuban rum, approx. 30 USD per bottle)
30 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml orgeat (I use Monin)
15 ml orange curacao (I use BOLS Dry Orange Liqueur)
5 ml homemade rock candy syrup (refined sugar, unrefined demerara cane sugar Billingtons, tsp. muscavado unrefined cane sugar and some drops of natural vanilla extract)

all ingredients about 200 USD.

it is awesome drink with very complex and aromatic taste and flavors.

That you think about Angostura rum (Trinadad and Tobago)? Do you taste it?

Ruben, to approximate the black strap, you might try adding in just a drop or two of mild unsulphered molasses. The hint of molasses is one of the underlying flavors that really makes this drink interesting. That, and the ginger syrup. That’s easy enough to make by thinly slicing a 2-inch long peice of ginger and placing it in a saucepan with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring it to a boil while stirring to disolve the sugar. Lower the heat, cover the saucepan and let it simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat with the lid on and allow to sit for two hours before straining and bottling. I hope you like it!
