Goldenrod Protocol
This Mai Tai variation is as refined and articulate as C-3PO himself, with the complex, grassy notes of rhum agricole providing a sophisticated depth, and a golden hue befitting a protocol droid. It's a perfectly balanced, albeit slightly anxious, sipper.

History
Rooted in the classic Mai Tai formula from 'Craft of the Cocktail,' this version incorporates rhum agricole for a more distinct flavor profile and a few dashes of Angostura bitters, adding a layer of aromatic complexity and a touch of C-3PO's signature 'worry,' making it a truly unique experience.
