It's a shame you ever bought any in the first place jenvet. Beforehand did you get a chance to read any posts here on TC regarding TV Mai Tai Mix? I doubt that you'll find any fans of the stuff and those who don't badmouth it completely tend to label it as a last resort act of desperation. For me it doesn't qualify as resort of any kind.

I personally have bought some and after a single use poured it down the drain. Not only does it not taste like a Mai Tai, it doesn't taste good at all no matter what it's called. I'm sure there are plenty of TCers who feel the same way. I would not ever want to receive any as a gift. Similarly, I wouldn't ever give any to anyone as a gift. It's ironic that it is impossible to make a Mai Tai if you use TV's Mai Tai Mix and doubly ironic that the company responsible for producing such a Mai Tai killer is Trader Vic's.

Good luck in getting rid of yours. If it was me, I wouldn't subject myself nor my friends nor total strangers to it, so the contents would go immediately to the drain and the bottles to a public recycle bin. I wouldn't want my neighbors to see all those bottles in my bin on recycle day, think it must be good, then go out and actually buy some themselves.
