At the Trader Vic's Emeryville (corporate H.Q.) and at the Palo Alto location they serve the standard Mai Tai, the 1944 Mai Tai (made from scratch) and the "Old Way" Mai Tai which is the standard Mai Tai with a float of Demerara 151 rum. I don't know why the "Old Way" is not made from scratch but the bartender at Emeryville verified that this is how they make it. Both the standard and 1944 Mai Tai's are on the menu but the "Old Way" is not. You have to "special request" it.
