Champagne Mai Tai

Make your Mai Tai sparkle! The bubbly lightens things up, and we'd suggest avoiding an overly aggressive rum here.

Ingredients:

• ¾ oz Almond Orgeat Syrup
• 1 ½ rum
• ½ oz orange liqueur
  
• 1 oz lime juice
  
• 2 oz champagne
  

Instructions:

• Add all ingredients, except sparkling wine, to a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake hard for 10 seconds
• Strain into mixing glass with champagne
• Stir for 20 seconds and strain into chilled rocks glass
• garnish with mint
