The one ingredient that really makes it is the St. James Hors d’Age rum, but it's no longer made. I've read in an older post that Rhum J.M is a good substitute, but the type of Rhum J.M wasn't specified (there's quite a few). Can anyone chime in on this? Also, outside of Rhum JM, does anyone have another good St. James Hors d’Age substitute for this fantastic mai tai recipe? I've stopped making maitais at home a few years ago because I haven't been able to find a decent substitute rum...help me get my Mai Tai fix on! :) Here's a video I made making the mai-tai about 10 years ago. https://vimeo.com/2220914 [ Edited by: absolute60 2019-01-01 15:17 ]
