Today’s Cocktail comes to us from The Monkeypod Kitchen in Maui Hawaii. It’s a really inventive and delicious reconstruction of a Mai Tai and given my absolute love for that drink, I felt we had to do it. So yes, this week’s drink is not only another Mai Tai but also features some more advanced technique

Very good recipe, we love the Monkeypod. One question. My foam immediately stars the melt and deconstruct. Is there a way to have the foam keep its shape longer?
Great recipe, we are big Monkeypod fames. One question, my foam immediately starts to melt and deconstruct. How have I have it keep its shape longer?
