Unga Bunga,

Your recipe calls for rum from Barbados and St. Croix. Vic's calls for rum from Jaimaca and Martinique. Are you making a Mai Tai?

By my definition (reasonably meet the definition and is excellent in taste) I assume you are. But a purest might reject the choice of rums.

Ya Zombie, another good point. Ironically the Barbados rum is T.V.'s, so are they being hypocritical? (Side note, this rum is starting to win a lot of tasting contests)
I served a customer a bottle of wine once in a snobby restaurant I use to work. I presented it to him; it was a Talbott Chardonnay from the Sleepy Hollow region, which is simply the part of the vineyard the grapes were grown. He replied,” I can see that, but was it the north or south slope of the vineyard (were only talking about 30 acres)
I called the Winery to please the jerk, and I thought he would be content. Then he snubbedly asked, what fertilizer was used for the grapes. I "threw" the manager at the table to wait on him, and that’s the day when I switched to beer and Rum.
