Let me be the first to answer the question. Yes, I have tried it. I have a glass short of a full bottle sitting in my fridge. Now I bought it cause I can't get bottles of any of the materials that go into a Mai Tai. Was looking into a website that sold TV mix for $5 and could get a couple but shipping costs were more than the product shipped. I know that I'm going to break down and ship in the good stuff, but back to Chi CHi. I've had great cocktails in the last year but never a good Mai Tai. I really don't have any comparison but that Chi Chi stuff starts out smelling bad. The taste, (it calls for just pour over ice) you can't cover it up. I even tried mixing with OJ to cover the taste and you still can't. I knew from its hot pink/orange color it wasn't high in regards but I was desperate here in the frozen lands. They should sell that bottle with a clothes-pin. But maybe that bottle will be worth something seeing how I may be the only person to buy it.
