It was pretty gross but I have had worse. I generally make it a rule to order a Mai Tai whenever it is on the menu just for fun. But also the same rule applies in opposite. If a bar/resturaunt doesn't have a Mai Tai on their menu, DO NOT ask them to make you one. This will always end up poorly. The second time we were in Hilo we went to a real divey bar. I ran to the bathroom and on my way back I heard my wife ask for a Mai Tai. Besides us there were 4 old natives drinking cheap beer in the bar. The bartender turned to my wife and said, "sorry we are out of strawberries." I think this is how they came up with the term haole. I guess I should make sure to fully explain my rules to my wife :)

Edit - I didn't mean my wife in particular, but the four white people that don't just get beers at a dive bar :)
