Pablus, glad you liked the drink. Like I said, it's the first recipe I ever came up with, and ultimately it's a mai tai variation. I've worked up plenty more since then. In fact I find that I enjoy experimenting with original recipes more than trying the classics. I tend to like drinks with more boozes and liqueurs and less juices.

Trustar, that coaster looks really cool! I look forward to what you come with for the RM. I don't have to work tomorrow and my allergies are currently at bay so I think I'll make one or two this evening. Maybe I'll try one of those Trader Woodys as well.

Swanky, the same holds true for the "classic" (hand made) mai tais at TV SF. The bartender had this little squeezer gimmick that look like some sort of miniature Victorian gynecological tool which he used to squeeze the lime. I asked him how much lime juice he estimated was in the mai tai and he guessed 1/4 oz. I guesstimated between 1/4 and 1/2 oz. He added that they throw in a dash of concentrated lime juice.

Tikiwahine, anything, I mean ANYTHING, is manly when covered in ranch dressing. A dainty quiche lorraine slathered in jalapeno ranch dressing would be wolfed down by even the burliest mountain man without a second thought!
