Great drinks are made to order and average drinks are premade, and held in jugs. Then, you're offering them without the corresponding glassware, (read Vic's books on what he thinks about that!), and even suggesting to drop the garnishes... I don't know if you'll sell more tiki drinks this way... too much is lost. I love a great Mai Tai, but if my first introduction to it was three ounces in a Gilbralter rocks glass... I might be still drinking beer. But I can appreciate the goal of getting more people into great tiki drinks.
