GatorRob -- take a drive up to Atlanta sometime to the Trader Vic's in the Hilton downtown. Joel makes the best Mai Tai I've ever had. Salaam makes a pretty good one, too, but Joel's rock. Yeah, it's a bit of a haul to drive for a drink, but go up for a Tiki Torch Night or some other event. Or, just take a weekend mini-vacation, do some fun Hot-lanta stuff during the day, and hang at the Trader Vic's in the evenings. I think they're $7.50, but all you need are about 2 or 3 to get a REALLY good buzz happening. Joel gets my vote as bartender of the year. Every year...
