Mai Tai Concentrate - Tiki Drinks and Food

You can easily make a great Mai Tai without it using curacao, rock candy syrup, etc. But the first true Mai Tai I ever had was at the now-defunct Trader Vic's Dallas, and since I didn't know to order it "the old way," what I got was rum and concentrate. As a result, I'm a bit nostalgic for that taste, though a hand-crafted Mai Tai is tastier and more authentic. Also, unless they've changed the formula (which would defeat my whole reason for buying some, so I hope they haven't), the lime is not included in the concentrate.
