I use a clear brand and I get the right color everytime. I have my own Mai-Tai recipe. 2oz Myers Dark Rum 1oz of either Haitian or Brazilian Rum (made directly from Sugar Cane as a substitute for St.James Martinique Rum which is expensive) 1oz of Orange Curacao dash of orgeat syrup 1/2 oz. of Roses sweetened lime juice or, better yet, 1/2 oz. of Key Lime bottled juice if you can get it. dash of grenadine. Shake with crushed ice. Enjoy. [ Edited by: Trader Rick on 2004-09-30 13:30 ]
