Mai tai. Second of the evening. Started out with a Mai Tai, then went with a double Donga Punch. Now back to Mai Tai.

The first was made with 2 oz. Appleton's Extra. Out of necessity, this one is 1 oz. Extra, 1 oz. St. James Extra Old. I prefer mai tais made from purely Jamaican rum. The Martinique adds a grassy, harsh flavor. It works well in spicy drinks (Donga Punch, 3 Dots), but I don't think it complements the flavors in a Mai Tai.
