Years ago, when I first went into a World Market, I was excited to find a bottle of that Mai Tai mix. Then I tried it. What an awful first impression of Vic’s magnum opus. Thankfully, I persevered and found the real recipe.

A few weeks ago I must have been in a fugue while in a local liquor store, because I bought a bottle of Trader Vic’s Spiced Rum. Ugh. But I’d spend my money on the Royal Amber; it’s supposed to make a good Mai Tai. I wonder why it’s not more widely available.
