if you're going to invest in those products (neither is inexpensive) just for a mai tai then you should also use the proper ice.

Also, note that the names of the Appleton Rums have changed recently. The Appleton Estate 12 is now Appleton Estate Rare Blend.

Are Clement and Appleton 12 not usable in many other drinks? I'm hoping to get them not just for a Mai Tai, but for a variety of other drinks. I've got the impression that the Appleton is pretty flexible, but the Clement I picked was because of Rumdood.

I suppose a hand crank ice crusher would be an easy pickup, although I'll probably end up getting the machine before the rums arrive :wink: You can also buy crushed ice here in Germany but I'm not sure if it's crushed perfectly for tiki drinks. I'll have a closer look next time I'm at the supermarket.
