i'm curious that none of these "authentic" recipes mentions a float of rum. It's always been my impression that the float is one of the hallmarks of the original recipe, but it looks like that may not be the case. Comments on this? For my tastes, a good dark rum float takes a mai tai from excellent to sublime, and I wouldn't make 'em any other way, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks about it...
