Sabu,

Thanks for posting this vintage Mai Kai recipe. I recently posted a thread about my trip to the Mai Kai 3 weeks ago:

In the thread I asked how the Mai Kai gets that super-silky, unctuous texture in their drinks. While neither my Wife nor I had this particular drink, I wonder if they are using coconut milk, or maybe coconut snow powder in many of their drinks? I tasted a lot of honey in all of the drinks that I enjoyed at the Mai Kai, but honey alone doesn't explain the texture that the Mai Kai manages to obtain in their drinks. And then there is the unique spiciness in their drinks......it's enough to drive a Tikiphile mad, really!
