It's not. But if this progression continues, they'll eventually suggest you can add their tiki syrup to beer, coffee, cola, etc. It simply looks like marketing gone wild, then combined with sales and financial people seeing potential for increased sales. It definitely tarnishes the Monin brand by documenting apparent ignorance of, or disregard for, true cocktail recipes and origins. I'm sure the syrup is decent, but it's just not right for Monin to further bastardize classic cocktail recipes in this world where Mai Tais show up in any color of the rainbow depending on how the wind blows up the bartender's skirt.
