I had to make four mai tais last night at the bar and ended up making the classic version. The customers complained but after making them tropical mai tais they were like this is how you do it!! Haha so funny everyone’s unique preference for a mai tai 😂

I don't know what this is, but it is most certainly not a Mai Tai, tropical or otherwise!

Not Trader Vic’s original recipe but you know what? It’s not a bad version. From now on that’s what I’ll be calling this “hotel” version of the Mai Tai.

You know that a mai tai doesn't have orange juice or pineapple juice in it, right?

I'm ok with an occasional Tropical Mai Tai, consumed many on Kauai. That being said, I'm always defaulting to the classic Mai Tai if I get a chance. We call this the "Tourist Version" of a Mai Tai.

Not a mai tai! Not even close. Just because you call it a mai tai doesn't make it a mai tai!2 big thumbs down.
