To make the Shark's Mai Tai, you'll need a few key ingredients and some basic bartending skills.

Once you're done shaking, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. You can use a rocks glass or a tiki mug for that extra tropical touch.
For the finishing touch, garnish your Shark's Mai Tai with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint. Not only will this add a pop of color, but it will also enhance the aroma of the drink. Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful presentation before taking your first sip.
