hello and welcome back to Alyena's kitchen or i'm actually not in my kitchen today i'm in beautiful
Maui and Kihei on the beach right now and it's just lovely and i'm going to be making one of
Maui's and Hawaii's most popular cocktails the mai tai but i'm putting a little bit of a spin on it
and making it a mai Thai smoothie so let's get started so the first thing we're going to do for
our smoothie is fill your blender up with ice i put a lot in today because it's really hot outside
and next i'm going to be adding in one cup of pineapple to my smoothie i can figure out how to
get it off i honestly love this it's such an easy way to cut your pineapple without all the mess
the next thing i'm going to be adding in is my lime so i used about the juice of one lime
or about half an ounce and next i actually forgot my shot glass with me today so we're
going to be eyeballing it a bit but i've made this drink before so i know my measurement and
it's so delicious so i'm going to be adding in about one shot or one ounce of coconut rum
i honestly love malibu rum i think it has such a great flavor along with one ounce of golden rock
or you can use white rum it's up to you on this one and to add a little bit of that sweetness
i'm adding in some triple sec and i'm adding in one ounce of triple sec and also i can never
have a smoothie without a banana in it so today you're going to add in one banana but in Hawaii
the bananas are super tiny and they're actually apple bananas so they have a little bit of an
apple flavor to them and i'm going to be adding in two bananas they're so cute and small
one second
bananas adding in about a fourth cup of pineapple juice
now i'm gonna run up to my hotel room and blend this all together because
on the beach you don't have a power source
and here we have our delicious mai thai smoothie and this actually makes one to two
drinks depending on how much of it you want and now the last thing i'm going to be topping it up
with is some dark rum you can't have a mai tai without a little dark rum on top so let's do it
now the last thing i'm going to put on it is my decoration so today i put a little pineapple
along with pineapple leaves and a little lime to decorate it and now let's put it in
while the leaves stay up how pretty is that i'm absolutely obsessed along with a little
umbrella make it tropical oh dear that was a bad idea and now the best part getting to taste it
that's so delicious a little boozy and also really sweet because all that pineapple i absolutely love
this drink and it's so refreshing on a hot day like today so if you like tropical cocktails
as much as i do i should have my Bahama playlist right here along with my Maui playlist right here
of all my drink recipes thank you guys so much for watching and i hope to see you next week
cheers
