For World Rum Day I wanted to make a special Mai tai with a special rum, one that supposedly mimics the flavor of the original 17-year-old Wray and Nephew rum that was used in the first 1944 Mai Tai by Trader Vic.

Combine all ingredients into a shaking tin with pebble ice. Shake for 5-8 seconds. Open pour into a double old fashioned glass. Top with more pebble ice. Garnish with a spent lime shell and mint sprig.
Editor's Note
A faithful recreation of the 1944 original. The rum-forward profile relies on a high-ester blend to capture the legendary depth of the long-lost Wray & Nephew 17.
