Great idea you two. I want to be a part of this. I suggested using Potters curacao instead of triple sec because it isn't $25. a bottle like Brizzard curacao or their triple sec is. I think the orange peel taste is quite different from triple sec and since they make both they must think so as well. Not that I'm claiming Potter is great curacao but I think its better to stay with the original recipe even using a inexpensive curacao.
I make a point of trying everyones Mai Tai where ever I go and most people and places use triple sec instead of curacao like there is no difference. (I have had some pretty bad Mai Tai'sin my travels but thats another post) "Share your worst Mai Tai here?"
But back to the curacao vs triple sec, yes lets have a food network type Mai Tai Throwdown. I'm up for it.

The mai tai on the left is from the Warehouse with triple sec and sweet & sour
On the right is mine with curacao and fresh lime juice that I challenged them with recently.

Life is a state of mind
