I tried pairing Zaya with Pusser's in a Mai Tai a few times...

That's actually a pretty good combo. When Martin was working at Trader Vic's, the bar manager Lars turned him on to Mai Tais that had an ounce of Zaya and an ounce of Pusser's, and then Martin turned us onto it as well.

However, this was in 2005, and Pusser's was still overproof, and Zaya was still from Guatemala. I haven't tried it in a Mai Tai since both rums were reformulated. I'm mixing up drinks for a 4th of July party today, so I think I'll give it a whirl with the new stuff. Maybe those Mai Tais will fill this Mai Tai by evening's end...
