Actually what I'm trying to do is get to the same Mai Tai that I have at the TV locations. I think those are really excellent. Like I said there are no TVs anywhere near NYC, so I can't just go have one at my leisure. I want the real deal or something close to it which is what I think this is..something close to it. Meanwhile does anybody know a readily available brand of Martinique rum? I'd like to try a Appleton/Martinique combination but I can't seem to find that type of rum around here. I got to the NYC TV once back in the late 70s or early 80s. I lived in Chicago in 2000 and went to TV a number of times, but my memory of their Mai Tai is not good enough for me to try to duplicate it. I'll give your version a try though!
