Welcome to the wonderful world of MaiTais!! & I'm getting thirsty for a MaiTai just reading your ingredients list, too :) As you get more familiar with making them, it's also fun to switch-up the rums & see what it does to the flavor - it is amazing how the characteristics of a cocktail can change with switching-up the rums, too. The rums you have chosen are, indeed, excellent MaiTai rums! Does Tiki Tiki only have this one mug currently available? It is my favorite of their mugs, though, as you so rarely see a female tiki mug & it is very nicely done, too!! They had 6 different mugs available in the past - you can see them here: http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/search.cgi?terms=tiki+tiki+shinjuku&des_id=any&man_id=any&img_id=any&shp_id=any&clr_id=any&details=yes&mode=search_process&x=0&y=0 I have all but the Palm Mug - I have never seen that one before. I really enjoyed both the cocktails & the food at Tiki Tiki when I have gone in the past. When we come for a visit this Fall, we were thinking of also venturing to the Yokohama Tiki Tiki. If you make it there, I'd be interested in hearing what you think :D Have FUN making those MaiTais!!!
