I had possibly the worst Mai-tai's last night at a place that usually knows better. I made the mistake of ordering the made-from-scratch Mai Tai. The first one was "sharp" tasting and I sent it back and the second one didn't agree with me either. The bartender was a relatively new employee there and she acknowledged that she rarely made them from scratch so she wanted to know how it turned out. That is one reason why I turned back the first one. I know I didn't do her any favors by not turning back the second one, because she really is striving to do a good job. I didn't have the heart to tell her the other one was off, too. It almost seemed that if she mixed the two together she would have had it. It was an off night for this establishment on the SF side of the bay so that is why I am not mentioning the name. She needs more experience in making the by-scratch Mai Tai. They were both RAZZ!
