The bitter Mai Tai was way, way too bitter. They called for 1 1/2 oz of Campari, which is more than you put in a Negroni for pete's sake! Also hardly tasted like a Mai Tai in any way, shape or form. Next was the Wicked Wahini. Not a bad drink, but more of what I call a "girl's drink". Sweet in a way that women like drinks but that most guys don't. I will have to try it again when I get around to making some homemade grenadine. The last was the London Burning. Now THIS is a damn fine drink! All the ingredients really play well together. I can heartily recommend it. I'll see if I can get around to the rest of them over the weekend.
