I'm a newbie tiki-phile but I'm doing pretty good with the Trader Vic's original Mai Tai. Made one just now for my wife and she says it came out almost as good as Trader Vic's. I'm having trouble getting that dark brown color but the taste is pretty close.

I used:

Myers
Mt Gay
Orange Curacao
Orgeat
juice from 1 lime
1/4 oz lemon juice (bartender at Trader Vic's gave me that tip if the limes aren't that juicy)
Half a lime shell and of course fresh mint from the backyard for the garnish
