Hey there,

I had my honeymoon in Maui a few months back and while there we went to a luau which was serving up what they labelled to be Mai Tai's. Maybe someone here has an idea as to what they did to make it because it did not resemble the traditional TV recipe.

It was in a highball filled with ice, dark rum on top and slowly dropped to an orange or gold color if I recall correctly. It didn't taste too fruity and you could certainly taste the rum. If you mixed it up it tasted less rummy (although I liked it rummy).

Anyone familiar with what popular luau recipes for Mai Tai's are? We went to the "Drums of the Pacific" luau on Maui if that helps any. I don't really care what the drink is called but it was damned good and I'd love to re-create it.
