I had the pleasure of making my first visit to Trader Vic's just before Christmas - tasting that Mai Tai was a revelation. I'd read it many times, but now I understand that the predominate flavor of the drink is rum. My Mai Tais are good, but tend to be citrusy, even when I back off of the lime juice.

Kind of discouraging to hear I probably can't duplicate that flavor at home. Darn, guess I'll just have to keep experimenting, and drinking the failures.
