The Mai-Kai's Mai Tai is a very different animal than the Trader Vic classic. It's much sweeter and contains completely different ingredients.

The flavors that pop out for us are pineapple juice, Appleton dark rum, sugar syrup and falernum. A reliable source confirms the falernum. And a very reliable source confirms that there's definitely no grapefruit.

When visiting The Mai-Kai, try the Q.B. Cooler and Bora Bora if you're looking for a drink similar to a Vic's Mai Tai.
