Mission Craft Cocktails bottled Mai Tai comes in at a whopping 25% ABV, more than enough to provide a good base cocktail served over crushed ice, and is priced well at about $13 for a 375 ml bottle that’s equivalent to two or three servings.
Where I’m less enthusiastic about the product is the unusual ingredients, starting with orange liqueur with coconut (really) that is very forward in the end-product. The Caribbean rum is nondescript, something I could have used more of with the orgeat that is described as “locally sourced” and “hand crafted” for some reason. There’s also vanilla and spices, and natural flavors that I assume are the source of the citrusy flavors.
Look, there are a ton of really terrible ready-to-drink Mai Tais, and thankfully Mission isn’t one of them. But the coconut and vanilla do send this quite a ways off track and there are better options in the marketplace.
