Nice work McDougall, but Grenadine's a no-no in a Mai Tai around these parts. Make your own rock candy syrup (simple syrup) by mixing equal parts sugar and water and heat until sugar is dissolved. Or use superfine sugar (not powdered) and dissolve it in the lime juice before adding it to the ice. Use the same amount of sugar as syrup or to taste.

The almond syrup and blue curacao are fine substitutes for orgeat and orange curacao.
