The best Mai Tais I ever had were the ones we made with Trader Vic's Mai Tai mix, Myers' and fresh lime and enjoyed while sitting on our little patio overlooking the ocean at the Tiki Hotel in Kona on the big island. My favorite drink also changes on a regular basis. My favorite tropical drink right now is the Puka Punch from "Intoxica" (via the Tiki Ti) because it's so complex, it's well balanced between sweet and tart, it's strong, and it has that exotic (for lack of a better word) flavor from all the different rums and flavorings in it. My recent favorite cocktail is the Pegu Club Cocktail, that originated outside Rangoon (in Burma) in the 20s. Good during the coktail hour before dinner. 1.5 oz. gin .5 oz. Cointreau .5 oz. lime juice 2 or 3 dashes Angostura bitters Shake with cracked ice and strain into cocktail glass.
