Or we can go have a martini with call brand gin for $3. While it is true there is a bit more prep in the TV drinks, I personally do not think it's that much more. Compare it to a L.I.T. or various frozen concoctions. I have their Mai Tai mix, and they use the powder, not the liquid, so you pour the stuff in a glass. How much is that worth? If it's not $4, it's really too much. No more prep there than a Tom Collins, etc. But all the Tiki bars seem to have high prices. In my world, I expect to pay about $3.50-$4.50 for a drink. Not $7+
