The menus at the Bali also boast about their Mai Tai having "no fruit juice" Now let's look at the recipe.... Do I see Sweet and Sour? Yes. Now anybody here should know what goes in to Sweet and Sour mix. Typically lemon juice and sugar syrup, or sometimes lime juice and sugar syrup, or a combination of lemon, lime and sugar. So based on the Bali Hai boastful claim, does this mean that the Sweet and Sour mix used at the Bali Hai contains no actual lemon or lime juice and is artificially flavored? Why are they bragging about this? Or does their sweet and sour actually have juice in it and they just don't know what they're saying. Either way, this looses points in my book.
