Bartenders who are still in training shouldn't be mixing drinks for paying customers until they've mastered their craft (unless drinks mixed by them are cheaper). It doesn't sound like the drinks were just slightly off but rather all over the place. The turn-over of bartenders there must be pretty high. This was a large part of my concern since Mai Kai changed bar managers in the Molokai Bar since the last time I was there and suddenly the drinks were tasting differently. I should mention that the previous bar manager was there for something like 18 years, so it was quite surprising to find him gone.
