here is my post from the Events area:
"I went last night for the 1st tiki night at Trader Vics.
had a From Scratch Mai Tai, tasted good, but seemed a tad light on the rum.
had a Navy Grog, tasted great, but they used 1 oz. light 1 oz. gold, and 1 oz dark rum. Isn't it supposed to be 3 oz. dark rum? hmmmmmmm???
had the Big Kahuna just to get the mug, the drink was not to my liking at all.
too light to much grenadine, and too much sweet stuff in it.
after 1/3 of it, I asked him to pour it out.
I got a headache from it. "

I must admit that I've only had about 8 to 10 drinks off the menu.
I've always been a Big Fan of the Navy Grog,
and Alfi the old Bartender at the BH TV's said it was one of the strongest.
I will have to give the Tiki Puka Puka another try.

If done right the Mai Tai is great. but Often it tastes too light for me.
I think I got used to Alfi's heavy pours.

looking forward to trying many more drinks at the New Trader Vics.
