I understand that the 1972 edition of Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide includes two recipes for the Mai Tai, but it's conspicuously absent from the 1948 edition. Vic supposedly invented the drink in 1944. Did it take a while to catch on, or us there another reason why he might have excluded it? I don't have the revised edition, does he comment on its exclusion from the first edition?
