We tried the Mai Tai, Navy Grog, and Rum Barrel.

The Mai Tai came completely pre-mixed, just a brownish liquid poured over ice. It tasted of pineapple and citrus with a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg? It wasn't a purists' Mai Tai but it was pretty good.

I didn't see them make the Rum Barrel but for $16 (-5 for happy hour) that was a lot of alcohol in one drink. The flavor was reasonably good. Again, a hint of cinnamon along with the pineapple and passion and citrus.

The Navy Grog was kind of bizarre. I make them all the time and the dominant flavors are grapefruit, honey, and rum. Again, this drink tasted like cinnamon. It was strong though.

I guess they pre-mix many of their exotic cocktails, bottom line.
