Would you happen to be talking about this stuff?

I had a completely different experience a few weeks back. We were in Maui and were utterly disappointed in the Mai Tais there. Couldn't find a good one anywhere. The more expensive they were, the crappier they tasted (what is it with Maui and passion fruit based Mai Tais?). Granted we didn't venture too far off the beaten path, but still. We've been to all the tourist traps on Oahu and still found respectable Mai Tais almost everywhere....but I digress.

In an act of desperation, we found the above mix in an ABC store in Whaler's Village and decided to give it a shot in our hotel room. After one taste, we basically poured the rest down the drain it was so bad. Maybe we got a bad batch but it tasted like sugar syrup with a hint of some sort of fruit juice. No rum taste, no orgeat, no nuthin'. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade....just wanted to share and to see if it was the same stuff.
