1944 Mai Tai Recipe - Necklace / Earrings
Tikiphiles, cocktail enthusiasts, bartenders and mixologists can now rep the most quintessential of all tiki drinks! This necklace of Vic Burgeron’s Mai Tai showcases all of his ingredients (rum, orgeat, Curaçao, rock candy syrup, and lime juice). And be sure to garnish your ears with the sprig of mint earrings— which are double-sided and will look good from all angles since they have a lot of fun movement.
Each main necklace charm is 1.5” high, in clear iridescent, orange, brown, lime, and almond colored acrylic. Tiny mint leaves are interspersed. They hang on a 19” clear acrylic chain with a lobster clasp.
Earrings are 3” high from the top of the stainless steel hook to the bottom of the last leaf. Each component of these pieces is designed and made by me, with hand painted details.
Enjoy your new jewels sipping on the perfect cocktail… Per the master, Jeff Beachbum Berry:
In your shaker pour 1 ounce each fresh lime juice, Rhum Clément VSOP Martinique rum, and Appleton Estate Extra or Coruba Dark Jamaican rum; 1/2 ounce orange Curaçao; 1/2 ounce Latitude 29 Formula Orgeat; and 1/4 ounce sugar syrup. Add at least 2 cups of crushed ice, then shake well for around 10 seconds. Pour unstrained into a double old-fashioned glass. Sink your spent lime shell in the drink, and garnish with a mint sprig.
