Last night I had my first Backscratcher in the Tambu Lounge at Disney's Polynesian Resort. I was surprised how well the float actually floated until the very end. It was a nice finish to a pleasant drink, although I personally seem to find it very difficult to really enjoy cocktails in a well-known and high-volume tourist spot. The bartenders are friendly and awesome -- they always try to do their very best with a somewhat limited selection of spirits and mixers which are provided to them by their employer. They make a very decent Mai Tai version with what ingredients they have available - I've had that a couple of times in the past when I visited. Everything is served with a smile, really a nice place to drink, especially at those times when its quieter and neighboring Ohana restaurant isn't slammed with diners. (Ooooh, wood-grilled delicacies!)

AceExplorer, you may already have seen this on my blog, but for anyone else who's curious I have a pretty faithful Backscratcher recipe:

I've had that drink on nearly every visit to the Polynesian, and I have a backscratcher collection to prove it!

Olole maulua!
