The last time I was at Mugoomba (at Tiki Farm), Holden had mixed something up in the dedicated Mai Tai Sparklett's cooler.
I don't recall the exact amounts, but he used some of the W&N overproof. Other ingredients included the premixed Trader Vics Mai Tai Cocktail, Orgeat and Lime Juice. Can't recall if he added any extra curacao or not.
Anyway, it made a pretty decent mai tai. It's hard to beat Martiki's suggestion of using the Appleton Estate Extra (and the St. James Hors d'Age for the Martinique rum) for a Mai Tai, but there are ways to use the overproof in a good cocktail. Just requires a little imagination. Or at least an e-mail to Holden. He might be willing to divulge the secret of the Mai Tai recipe.
