Wow! Mai Tai is the best drink in the all world and in the all time.

I prepared my Mai Tai with different rums, such trinidads rum Angostura or Demerara 12 y.o., and with different recipes and results was great! Some time I need Mai Tai very much and I need to experiment with it!

That sounds like a question for the Mikes. Time to visit the Ti!

After being in Hawaii, I got in the habit of floating some dark rum in my mai tais. Everywhere from Don’s to the airport bars, everyone seemed to be floating the dark rum! Tasty and looks pretty…but I wonder how that tradition started?

I reckon the Mai Tai is as much of a classic as a Martini or Manhattan, but unfortunately many people who have a fit whenever someone utters the phrase “Vodka Martini” don’t seem to hold it in the same high regard.

Maybe it needs more hard-line defenders, but if you’re that kind of person, you’re probably not into Mai Tais… :)

The Martinique rum is a must on this one when you do try it, Jay. I’ve had a lot of Mai Tais in my life, and this recipe tastes the best.

Thanks! I have to compete with your gorgeous twists somehow…

Embarrassed as I am to admit it, I’ve never had a Mai Tai! Don’t worry though, various rums are at the top of my shopping list and I intend to remedy the situation soon.

Love the cherry nestling in the squeezed lime by the way!

Viva La Mai-Tai!

I think we need to do everything we can to ‘rescue’ this drink from Pineapple-Aloha Hell! No more hurricane glasses filled with ‘exotic juices,’ no more pink sugary blender monstrosities served from a slurpy machine!

This is a fabulous drink that showcases both the versatility and the absolute yumminess of various Rums. And, when made well with some fresh lime and quality rums, this drink can truly melt away the day or lead you softly into the night (or both).

Everyone! Go and make a ‘Good Mai-Tai’ right now. I’ll meet you out on the Lanai with mine.

Mmm, Mai Tais. I’m sure the “Super” variation they sell at Ron of Japan is totally unlike this recipe, but you gotta love the sense of creative experimentation so many bartenders apply to such a boozer’s staple.
