Yes, first, work on perfecting your Mai Tai. Maybe cut back on the lime, or shake it longer, whatever it takes. Good choice of rums but what was your recipe? Have you had a real Mai Tai from a Trader Vic's? If not, be sure to ask that it be made from scratch (no mix). Once you've tasted a properly made one (assuming the bartender is paying attention) you'll then have a benchmark.
