Do you miss Trader Sam’s as much as I do? Well, you don’t have to because you can make the drinks right at home! To go along with the video I made which you can watch right here, I wanted to also write up a post with the ingredients to make it even easier for you guys to reference it when you make your drinks. I picked the Shipwreck On The Rocks and HippopotoMai-Tai to show you for this post. One is a whiskey based drink, and one is a rum based drink which is what most popular tiki drinks contain. OK, here’s each one’s ingredients:
Shipwreck On The Rocks:
Ingredients:
4 lemon wedges
4 mint leaves
2 oz Maker’s Mark Bourbon
1/2 oz Agave Nectar
Directions:
1. Muddle lemon, mint, bourbon in a shaker
2. Add ice, shake until cold
3. Strain into glass filled with crushed ice
4. Garnish with Mint sprig
HippopotoMai-Tai:
Ingredients:
1 oz lime juice
0.5 oz agave nectar
0.5 oz orgeat syrup
0.5 oz Orange Curacao
1 oz Coruba Dark Rum
1 oz Bacardi Rum

1. Combine ingredients in a shaker
2. Shake well
3. Pour over ice in a glass
So now you know how to make two of the most popular Trader Sam’s drinks so even when you can’t make it to Disneyland or Walt Disney World, you can have your own Trader Sam’s tiki party at home.
