The recipe on the bottle says that you should add 4 oz of the mix to 2 oz of rum. That's completely wrong. Instead, we mixed it half and half with the rum in crushed ice, added a little bit of fresh lime juice, and the taste wasn't bad. I normally mix my Mai Tais from scratch. However, if you don't have those extra ingredients on hand (i.e. orange curacao, orgeant syrup, simple syrup) the mix is a good stanby. Keep in mind that the TV restaurants use a non-consumer concentrated mix for their Mai Tais. I'm assuming it's the same formula.
