Confused with rums, and poor selection - Tiki Drinks and Food

In part I agree with Swanky, I make considerably less Mai Tais now than I did in my 'early days'. But they are still a good drink I make when I am short on all other citrus fruit. Trader Vic wasn't a hack but did base most of his drinks around orange / lemon / orgeat. Nowadays I reach more often for drinks containing ingredients like cinnamon syrup, honey, falernum, pimento, bitters & pernod - Navy Grogs, Three Dots & a Dash or Jet Pilots being faves. To those who think Trader Vic should win in a head to head with Don The Beachcomber... you are mistaken :) Rockydog101, don't be put off by this! :)
