"Classic" Tiki drinks like the Mai Tai were just already existing cocktails that substituted cheap crappy rums (and cheap, bitter seed-free limes instead of yummy lemons) for the more expensive original ingredients; Don and Vic didn't invent any drinks.

eg. the Mai Tai is just a Sidecar, but uses Rum instead of $$$ Cognac.

Try a Sidecar, they're amazing.
