Mrs. Mai Tai and I spent Saturday in Livermore, sandwiching a showing of the Hamilton movie with a couple bar experiences that we’ll write about in the coming days.
But there’s one highlight I don’t want to delay discussing which is the excellent Mai Tai that I had at Nightcaps at Rosetta. This is the cocktail-focused evening storefront for the Rosetta Roasting cafe that includes a different theme each day.
We missed Tiki Thursday but the staff was kind enough to make a Mai Tai and it was most definitely a treat on par with the cakes and savory bites on the venue’s menu. The Mai Tai contains Hamilton Pot Still Black and West Indies Blend, two bold rums that work great in this format. Very well balanced and pleasant throughout – it’s great.
If you look closely in the photo you can see the large tiki and some jade tiles that appear in a dark corner of the venue.
