I was at Kroger looking at the regular stock of mixes, mainly Sweet and Sour and there it was "Mai Tai" mix! There with the Bloody Mary and the Margarita and the olives and onions and soda water, Mai Tai. You know we have made it now. What was next to it really made me laugh though. Cosmopolitan mix. ????? It's freakin' fake cranberry juice! I can see it now, "I made one at home with my cranberry juice, but it didn't taste like at the bar. So I got this stuff with all these artificial ingredients at the store and it's just right." Trader Vic's needs to jump on this stuff now.
