The quest for the 'perfect' rums for a Mai-tai will consume many livers......

The 'original' rum is no longer available (well, if you happen to have 1,400 lying around...) so we have been left to pairing rums trying to recreate that lost 'original.'

I won't answer your question as to which ones exactly, but I will add a quote from Beachbum Berry's Sippin safari:

'...The 48 drinks on the menu called for 43 different rums by brand...' (from the chapter about the Mai-Kai)

So... you will just have to start mixing to find the pair you like the best.
