Hi, my name is Michael and I am alcoholic, LOL. You can find me at least several times a month at the bar at Trader Vic's in Atlanta.

Now that we have that out of the way, having sat at that bar so much, I have intimate knowledge that the Mai Tai they make, using their concentrate tastes nothing like the standard '44 recipe. As a matter of fact, you can ask them to make a '44 at the bar and it taste nothing like the standard issue variety.

So I am now on a quest to replicate what we get at the bar with the standard issued Mai Tai made from the concentrate.

Any ideas?

I think they combine the almond flavor along with the orange flavor and cook it down with a bunch of sugar and add a ton of artificial coloring to it and get something unlike an original '44 but yet is still very yummy.
