I tried the DTB one tonight. Not bad, but a little on the sweet side. Vaguely reminiscent of (hate to say it) the overdone and not very good Mai Tais at the Tonga Room, SF. Tonga Room is a great place. Cocktails, notsomuch. Anyway, the DTB Mai Tai was good, but I think the next step is to use Orgeat. The recipe that I found called for 1 oz. sugar syrup and no Orgeat. Next time I'll try 1/2 oz sugar, 1/2 oz Orgeat. It also called for 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters. That ended up being too dominant. Maybe one dash next time.
