Thank you all for coming... :wink:
I am assuming you are the bartender or owner or manager?
The tiki crowd are pretty much experts when it comes to tropical drinks, more so then any other demographic. They KNOW their Mai_Tais, so you can always expect to get some feedback. Consider it positive, ok? For many Tiki Centralites, the Mai_tai is something that is approached with the same level of detailed analysis as a restaraunt critic does at some hot new place.
Believe me, all of us are thrilled there is not a jamba juice, starbucks or walgreens there right now!
I am the bar manager / bartender. The recipe for the Mai Tai has come from many years of studying Don's past drinks. This is the best version that I came up with for the 1930's. I will probably be introducing different variations of the Mai Tai as it progressed through the years at Don's.
ALL newer versions of the Mai Tai use some sort of synthetic sugar syrup that to the best of my knowledge was not being used, only fresh spices and juices. No we will never be making a Trader Vics Mai Tai in Don the Beachcomber, unless Trader Vics would like to talk with me and add a Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai to Their Menu :wink:
What kind of grapefruit juice do you use in the Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai. Or is there none? Some people try to avoid grapefruit due to an interaction with certain medications.
All juices are fresh.
