A perfect example of how even the slightest change of ingredient can completely alter the flavour of a drink, Last Rites swaps out ordinary Orgeat for Cashew Orgeat, which makes this Mai Tai riff an extra rich take on the classic.
Shake all ingredients together in a shaker with a scoop of cubed ice and a scoop of crushed ice. Pour the contents into a double Old Fashioned glass and garnish.
Toasted Cashew Orgeat – Toast ¼ lb. of cashews until golden brown. Chop the nuts, then add them to 1 cup of simple syrup (1:1). Let the mixture steep overnight and strain the nuts before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
