Just when we thought we had it down pat, we get a curveball. But it was fortunate that Mai-Kai manager Kern Mattei chose to feature the Jet Pilot in last week's Mai-Kai Mixer flights. We learned much more about the drink and its ingredients. Here's a full recap of the event:

We found out that indeed it has four rums (as Chip and Andy said) and that they are (Lemon Hart 151, Kohala Bay dark Jamaican, gold Puerto Rican, and light Puerto Rican). Also, the only fresh juice contained in the drink is lime juice. So scratch the OJ.

Back to the drawing board, we came up with a retooled tribute that you can find here:
