I discovered the TV premixed mai tais last year while backpacking on Maui. It became a staple in my pack (augmented by a small flask of Demerara for a float and a couple of limes to sour it down), allowing me to enjoy an evening mai tai on the beach/in the jungle/on the floor of Haleakala without having to carry too much extra weight (I transferred the mai tais into a plastic bottle to lighten the load a bit). Sometimes I had to forego ice, but hell, a warm mai tai sipped in a jungle treehouse in Hana is better than a cold one most anyplace else...
