I'll be sticking with this one. Ignore my above, pretentious post. I rarely wander into this forum, but I checked out this post recently and was inspired to make my very first mai tai. (I've always had the notion that I was incapable of making a decent drink other than a martini.) Anyway, with my newly stocked bar, I had almost all of the ingredients listed above. I need to work on my rum selection, so I just ended up using 2 oz. of the Appleton Special. (Yes, I know, but we all have to start somewhere.) I used this recipe, and it turned out beautifully. Thank you, donhonyc.
