I don't know where I got this recipe from but I've named it "The Sufferin' Mai-Tai Bastard" - Makes a gallon and is good for a crowd. Use your own brand preferances:
8 oz Orange Curaco
16 oz Dark Rum
8 oz Light Rum
8 oz Grenadine
32 oz Orange Juice
32 oz Pineapple Juice
24 oz Sour Mix

The above would probably benefit greatly with the addition of Orgate Syrup, but I don't want to venture an amount here - experiment on you own and under adult supervision.

I know, I know I'm going to burn in Mai-Tai Hell for this recipe . . . but I'll take my chances.

I'm sorry but all sour mix is garbage and belongs in the trash. It's one disagreement I have with Beachbum Berry (along with his use of bottled OJ in California where fresh oranges are so cheap). Make your own sour mix: fresh lemon juice and simple syrup.

I won't even go into the old argument that THIS IS NOT A MAI TAI. Oops, I just did.
