Of course, I'm not on the West Coast and not near any Trader Vic's, so I'm a bit handicapped. Fearing the wrath of the tiki gods, even the Mai Kai doesn't serve a proper Mai Tai. The best Mai-Tai I have been served is from my home bar. I stand on one side of the bar and make a show of mixing it. Then I walk to the other side of the bar and toast myself for such a great show. I only get to do this once or twice before I run into myself coming around the bar.... And, as to Mai-Tai's at the Mai-Kai: the secret it to order the Mai-Tai's when you sit down to dinner. The guys in the back bar (for the dinning room) make a superior drink when compared to the staff in the bar in the Molokai. When you are in the Molokai, order a Jet Pilot or Yeoman's Grog. When you sit down to dinner, order two or three Mai-Tai's.
