Is the Mai Tai the new "Martini"? Sadly, yes. The Mai-Tai is being Martini-ized every day a bit more. I dont mind so much the 50 variations, some of them are probably quite good. I just hope that each of the 50 versions has a name other than ____ Mai-Tai (chocolate Mai-tai, pear Mai-tai, etc....) When the day comes that a double old-fashioned glass is referred to as a Mai-Tai glass, that will be the end of it. Until that day, however, I am doing everything I can to keep the Mai-Tai the drink it is with all of the glory and splendor it deserves. I will buy this book if for no other reason than to know my enemy. And in knowing my enemy I will know how to combat the continued degradation of my favorite rum drink.
