No need to apologize Tipsy, you have the right to your opinion too.

I admit that 5 years ago 99% of patrons wouldn't care about drink quality, but things have changed. It's not just tiki purists that are being picky anymore. There have been numerous articles in magazines and newspapers and online about the difference between original tropical drinks and poorly made tropical drinks (and usually Trader Vic's is mentioned as an originator). The general public is more educated on cocktails than before.

"how do you explain the las vegas trader vics abortion?"

A franchisee who had bad ideas about what a Trader Vic's should be like.

..fair enough..

.....but get yourself over to vics and try those drinks!!...tiki bars may have been there on a bad night or got a substandard bartender...whatever the case, i want a full report from you on this thread with an honest assessment of your reaction to the drinks....:)
