It is spelled "Mai Tai."
Pour 1& 1/2 ounce light rum into a collins glass over rocks. Add 1/2 ounce of Cointreau or Triple Sec (if you want to make it really special, use Grand Mariner). Add orange and pineapple juices to fill the glass. Add a float of dark rum. Garnish with a flag (a marachino cherry and orange slice).
There are many variations to the Mai Tai, but this is your basic version. Have fun and be creative!
I have no clue what recipe ErinM just listed but it's definately not a Mai Tai.
