Work Hard Play Hard: Mai Tai


"Work Hard Play Hard" is Clutter's get-right-for-the-weekend anthem and (unofficial) motto.  In honor of our love of the weekend, we'll present some WHPH worthy drink recipes to help kick your time off with a splash! 

Our first ever WHPH is an homage to both Don & Mrs. Draper's recent trip to Hawaii on last week's "Mad Men", and to our Hawaiian Clutter family, Brooke and Tony.  So whether you're lounging on the beaches of Waikiki, or just need a mental vacation from your home in Savannah, try this Mai Tai recipe out and wash your troubles away!!

Clutter's Mai Tai:
  • 1 ounce light rum (Bacardi or Malibu Coconut(!!!))
  • 1 ounce dark rum (your choice)
  • 1/2 ounce triple sec
  • 1/4 ounce lime juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
  • Splash of orange juice (to taste)
  • Dash of grenadine  
  • Maraschino cherry for garnish
  1. Pour all the ingredients except the dark rum into a shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well while daydreaming about Don Draper, Hawaiian breezes, and the smell of suntan lotion.
  3. Strain into an old-fashioned glass half filled with ice.
  4. Top with dark rum. Try a spiced rum (Captain Morgan, Sailor Jerry's, etc.) for a twist on the classic Mai Tai.
  5. Garnish with the cherry.  Add a yellow ilima, Oahu's official flower, for a great look!! 
Enjoy!!! Mahalo for stopping by and aloha from the Clutter family!!
