Thank you everyone for the tips!

I am on the hunt now for that beachbum berry book and the mai tai swizzle recipe- thanks so much:)
It might not be all bad to have the taste of the general mass--Those Kauai mai tais were unbelievable. The TV mai tai from scratch is definitely worth a try- Just ordered some orgeat syrup from Amazon, and luckily, we already have a variety of strange things in our liquor cabinet:)

Its a wonder how exactly the mai tai 'evolved' from the original version to the island variation--They really are 2 completely different animals. Will do a search on older mai tai threads and see what pops up.

Thanks again, and its nice to meet you all:)
