The Mai Tai is a tropical classic that’s simple to make with the Ninja SLUSHi and Margarita Man's Mai Tai mix. Just pour in the mix, add water and rum, press the 'spiked slush' preset, and you’ll soon have a perfectly chilled Mai Tai. It’s an easy and satisfying option for any occasion, sure to impress your guests!

The name ‘Mai Tai’ comes from the Tahitian phrase maita'i roa ae, which translates to 'out of this world—the best!' A fitting name for a cocktail that’s been a crowd favorite since the 1940s.
