To answer a few questions: Like I said, we were crashing a wedding since the bar was closed. So it was a bit crazy and crowded and it would have been difficult to send the drinks back. I didn't watch the drinks being made so I don't know if he shook or layered. I have had a number of drinks there before, just not their mai tai. A friend gave me a copy of the Bali Hai drink menu and this is what it describes as the ingredients of the "World Famous Bali Hai Mai Tai":"Coruba Jamaican Dark Rum, Ron Rico Light Rum, Orange Liqueur & Sweet n Sour. No Fruit Juice Added! 6.95" I certainly didn't taste any orange liqueur or sweet and sour, but it could have been the result of a hurried bartender or an inexperienced one. Maybe next time I'm there I'll give the drink another shot.
