Did you know there was cinnamon in the drink jet pilot from the Mai Kai?
If you have had one you might say "really, I don't taste it, wait I guess maybe".
That is a successful drink and is one of not only my favorite drinks at the Mai Kai but a favorite of many people.

But if your drink tastes like potpourri water or you immediately say wow there is cinnamon in this!

If you take a sip and feel like you have done a shot of Hawaiian Tropic® sun tan lotion for all the Coco Real you have put in the drink.

These drinks are a fail.

You need a blend, ingredients that go well together and one or more ingredient does not stick out and beat you on the head.

Now people will look right at you and say they are good, great even, wait till they leave your place and a bit more of the truth will come out.

Get a focus group tell them you want the bitter truth, don't throw a free party with people who like you and say what do you think of the free drinks I just gave you.

Remember "Portland's only tiki bar, Rhum is no more - Portland Press Herald' after being open only a bit over one year.

People raved about it!
One local tiki group went there and got a free Sea food tower and said "hey, show these guys some love on feedback as those towers are not cheep"

It did not help them to try to buy good reviews.

I bet that it was close to a million bucks to put that place in.

The person who is telling you the things you don't want to hear is often your best friend trying to save you.
