This vibrantly colored Mai Tai cocktail recipe is the ultimate, fruity summer tiki drink. It’s the perfect tropical getaway any time of the year – and this luscious beverage is 0-carbs, too.
For this recipe you’ll need: white rum, spiced rum, lime, lemon, club soda, sugar free syrups in the following flavors (I use Torani): pineapple, orange, almond, and cherry
Summer is almost over. My kids started school last week and the days have been dipping under 100F – a sure sign of fall here in Texas. I’m honestly kind of ready for autumn and all of the comfy-coziness it brings but I’ll be a little sad to say goodbye to my fruity tiki drinks, like this Mai Tai cocktail.
This cocktail really made me think because I couldn’t, for the life of me, get the flavor right. It would taste too mediciney, or too sweet, or not sweet enough until finally, VOILA!
A perfect, low carb Mai Tai recipe – just in time to raise a toast to the end of summer.

The sugar free syrups are always available locally but you can almost always find them online. I’ve found SO many uses for the sugar free pineapple syrup!

I would suggest, some light and dark rum (spiced rum is always packed full of sugar). A smidge of funky rum (Jamaican or anything from French colonies). You could easily make orgeat (almonds, orange flower water, and your sugar of choice) if you have a blender and a strainer. Squeeze fresh lime juice of your own. Shake like a baby, dump in a cup. Put pint on to (after you slap or rub a cpl leaves)
