Most of the people at the party are familliar with the type of Mai Tai's you might find at a regular (non-Tiki bar) restaurant. In my experience, some have found the "Original" to be too sweet or tart. My question is: Do I go with the Orgeat Syrup & Orange Curacao mixture or the Sweet & Sour with Triple Sec mixture? Which do you think is the better crowd pleaser? Mahaloz in advance for your help!!
