That may not be entirely her fault . . . you were . . .
or·geat (ôrzhä)
n.
A sweet flavoring of orange and almond used in cocktails and food.
[French, from Old French, from Old Provençal orjat, from ordj, orge, barley, from Latin hordeum.]

Cheekytiki: If you are referring to the Mai Tai recipe in "Hawaii Tropical Rum Drinks & Cuisine by Don the Beachcomber" by Arnold Bitner & Phoebe Beach
which is:
1 1/2 ounces Myers's Plantation Rum
1 ounce Cuban Rum
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
1/4 Falernum
1/2 ounce Cointreau
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 dash Pernod
1 cup cracked ice
Slice squeezed lime, for garnish
Pineapple spear, for garnish
Mint sprig, for garnish

The above sounds like a vary interesting and intoxicating drink, but as far as I'm concerned it's NOT a Mai Tai.
In my opinion Don The Beachcomber should have come up with an original name for his original drink.

I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
