Four shots of rum in a drink would be insane, like you say. I probably should have given an exact measure. My bad. I assume your jigger is 1.5 oz. Then your mai tai recipe calls for 6 parts rum and 1 part almond syrup. That's a larger rum ratio than my 4 to 1 mai tai recipe. I imagine you'd need juice to dilute yours a bit. I hate dealing with oz., and I usually just make drinks by ratio, not by actually measuring ounces, hence my use of "parts". (For instance, a classic martini has 5 parts gin to 1 part vermouth.) But clearly, a measurement for the mai tai recipe would be useful. 1/3 oz works well as a "part" for this drink. Here's the mai tai recipe using ounces: 2/3 oz. dark rum 2/3 oz. gold rum 1/3 oz. Cointreau (or triple sec as a more affordable option) 1/3 oz. Amaretto (or Torani almond syrup, but that can be hard to find) juice of 1 lime 2 or 3 dashes of Grenadine Hang loose. Aloha.

That's 4 times the rum needed for 1 Mai Tai. 4 parts rum? Just for laughs and giggles I made this recipe and I could have started a fire with this brew. Where's the pineapple juice? It should be 1 jigger rum, 1/4 oz almond syrup, 1/2 oz pineapple juice, 1/2 oz lime juice, and 1/4 oz Grenadine syrup. Done. Shake and pour over ice in a hurricane glass. You have to be kidding me.
