The Bitter Mai Tai is bold, complex, and herbaceous, with Jamaican rum providing funky, tropical depth and Campari adding a bright, orange-gentian bitterness. Traditional Mai Tai elements—lime and orgeat—balance the bitterness with nutty sweetness and citrus lift. It drinks layered and lively, combining tropical richness with a sophisticated, bittersweet edge.
