In my experiments I've found that I could use the best rum or the kind that comes in a plastic bottle and the drink killer usually ends up being the ratio between lime and syrup. Too much syrup makes it sickeningly sweet and the wrong amount of lime sours the mix. So I usually end up mixing it in a separate glass to my liking and add it to the high octane potion later. A good mai tai is not taken for granted.
