I don't have a Vitamix (I wish!), but I might be able to approximate it with what I have on hand. It's been noted that for whatever reason, fresh ginger syrup loses its zing in just a matter of days, so I tend to make it in smaller batches now. I'll definitely give this a go! I actually did get to sample a Q.B. Cooler or two at one of 320 Main's Tiki Nights last summer, Trader Tom. There's definite similarities to the Mai Tai there, and it might even have more complexity in taste. I have yet to make it at home; maybe that's this weekend's project! But first, it's time to restock Pimento Dram, Falernum and all the rest of the stuff that makes a difference. This is gonna dent the wallet!
