1 or 2 shots Vanilla Vodka (I've been using Absolut)
1 shot Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice (Thank God I found a use for this stuff)
Lots of Whipped Cream (Reddi-wip)

Combine Vodka and Lime Juice in Shaker
Depending on the size of the shaker, try and get in a lot of whipped cream. For small shakers, I try to compact it and fill to the top. Using a Tiki Shaker from Tiki Farm, the whipped cream goes about 2/3 to the top, loosely packed. I mean it, lots of whipped cream. The ReddiWhip stuff in the red can works just fine. I've been using grocery store brand.

Some notes: my wife thinks 2 shots is too strong, so when I make them for her, she gets one shot. I like two. Important to shake a LOT, otherwise vodka and whipped cream don't mix enough.
A small amount of simple syrup can help to sweeten if you don't put in enough whipped cream.
Properly made, it should look milky, but just slightly green from the lime juice. Two shots of vodka will make it less thick, depending on your texture preferences.

While not strictly tiki, this is a pretty cool drink, and it tastes good! For the martini purists, this thing is mur-ky, so be warned.
It's also perfect to serve in a tikifarm tiki martini glass, which helps to improve it's tiki compatibility.

The recipe above is a slight improv on the recipe used by Mr. Tiki's Mai Tai Lounge in San Diego. Enjoy!
