I like the Bum's recipe (1 oz each of appleton and st james), but 2 oz of Appleton all on it's own was pretty good too. More experimentation is necessary. Garnishing with a big sprig of fresh mint is essential to the Mai Tai experience. You must make sure the mint is sticking up out of the drink, almost like a flower, so that you smell a whiff of mint with each sip. Fortunately I have a jungle of mint in my backyard... finally putting it to use.
