I have to say that although the drinks were very good, I thought they were a little too sweet. I assume they are using the same products in the bar that are on the market. I am basing this purely on the drinks I've made from BeachBum's Remixed where I made the syrups myself. The Mai-tai in particular seemed much sweeter than my Remixed version. I think I'll keep making the syrups myself when possible. Cheers! Next time you order a Mai Tai at a Trader Vic's, ask for it to be made from scratch (no pre-made mix). As far as I know, all TV bartenders can handle this request and you will get a better Mai Tai.
