I was surprised to find that there wasn't a thread dedicated to bad Mai Tai recipes.

We discuss them ad nauseum, thanks to the widespread use of pineapple juice, orange juice, or grenadine, but occasionally, there's a "mai tai" that's so bad that it bears a second look. I've seen some pretty horrific recipes, and usually get a kick out of imagining how awful the cocktail must be. Today, while concocting a mai tai in my head (don't judge me) and searching for ingredients online, I happen to come across mention of what I think may be the most disgusting recipe I've seen to date. I've posted it below for the amusement of everyone else, and I hope that some of you will post recipes for any tiki drink that you've found particularly abhorrent. Because just like hot dogs, Jello, and mayonnaise, some things just don't belong together. Bonus points for making the recipe, and posting a photo.
