In my never ending quest to get the right Mai Tai recipe I decided to see what was being said on YouTube. Is it me or are all of these recipes wrong? I guess it depends. By the way, if any of you read that post about me getting the right Mai Tai with the St. James rum and how excited I was about that, well..back to the drawing board. So far the best Mai Tais I've had are at Trader Vic's, Mai Kai, and Chan's Dragon Inn in New Jersey. I haven't been able to accurately replicate any of them, even though I thought I was close. Chan's definitely makes their's with either Pineapple or Orange Juice. I know it's not accurate, but it's really good. So maybe I should try that. Check these out and judge for yourself on what these guys are up to.
