The origins of the Mai Tai cocktail can be traced back to 1944 when Victor J. "Trader Vic" Bergeron created it at his Trader Vic's restaurant in Oakland, California. The story goes that he made the drink for some friends who were visiting from Tahiti and they exclaimed "Maita'i roa ae!" which means "very good" in Tahitian. Thus, the Mai Tai was born.

The Kona Village version of the Mai Tai puts a unique spin on this classic cocktail by using fresh ingredients like pineapple juice, orange curacao, and dark rum along with a splash of lime juice for added zing. The result is a refreshing drink that perfectly captures the essence of Hawaii.

To make your own Kona Village Mai Tai at home, start by filling a shaker with ice cubes and adding 2 ounces of dark rum (such as Myers's or Gosling's), 1 ounce each of orange curacao and fresh lime juice, and 2 ounces of pineapple juice. Shake well until chilled then strain into an ice-filled glass.

Garnish your Kona Village Mai Tai with a slice of pineapple or an umbrella for that extra touch of tropical flair. Sip slowly and savor every sip as you transport yourself to paradise with this delightful cocktail.

Whether you're dreaming about your next Hawaiian vacation or simply want to enjoy a taste of paradise at home, the Kona Village Mai Tai cocktail is sure to hit all the right notes. So kick back, relax, and raise your glass to island living with this delicious drink in hand!
