It's finally tiki drink season and there are entirely too many drinks that I have been waiting to make. When you think of a classic tiki drink you think some kind of fruit juice, a coconut, lots of umbrellas and straws, and of course rum. There's nothing wrong with these kind of drinks, in fact they're delicious, but sometimes you want to try something different.
I'm a big fan of mules so I thought "How do I make a unique, tiki style mule?" After some experimentation I found that maple syrup is surprisingly good company with rum.
This drink has a classic tiki drink tropical feel, but the addition of ginger beer and maple syrup sets it apart. Try one today and you wont look back.
