AUGUST 2015 nshoremag.com | 99 The Baldwin Bar Mai Tai COCKTAIL MAI TAI AT THE BALDWIN BAR AT SICHUAN GARDEN Take everything you think you know about a Mai Tai and throw it out the window. Then go to The Baldwin Bar, an intimate little enclave tucked inside a Sichuan restaurant, and be pre- pared to be completely blown away. Meet the Mai Tai done right: rum, dry curacao, orgeat, lime, and mint. There is even a special Mai Tai section on the cocktail menu with riffs on this beloved Tiki classic, but start with the famous Trader Vic version and work your way down. Rum is having a moment, and the Mai Tai is not too sweet and perfectly balanced with a hint of dryness and all the elements of a cocktail that leave you wanting another. 2 Alfred St., Woburn, 781-935-8488, thebald- winbar.com R E A D E R S' C H O I C E B A R R E L H O U S E A M E R I C A N B A R
