As we know, and as Iv talked about at length, the Mai Tai is a great vessel for showcasing rum. But what about other spirits? Gin is the second most spirit in classic tiki cocktails, yet I couldn't find a recipe for a gin Mai Tai. So I answered the question no one seemed to be asking, "what does a gin Mai Tai taste like?".

Editor's Note

Gin replaces rum in this tiki-inspired sour, trading molasses depth for botanical brightness. BG Reynolds orgeat provides the essential nutty backbone.
