Remarks:

Created by Ivy Mix of Leyenda

in Brooklyn. Yes, its name is an

anagram of Mai Tai. But it is

more than a rearrangement of

letters. In the Tia Mia many of

your usual tropical cocktail

ingredients are also arranged

to come up with something that

seems familiar and different at

the same time.
