Among the many things I experienced while in Hawaii, I was quite pleased to discover Trader Vic's premaid Mai Tais. As we were really roughing it (camping on the beach in Maui and Lanai, mostly), it was handy to have everything there in one bottle, and I have to say that I've had plenty worse mai tais in restaurants. Though not nearly as good as my home-made version, it was still closer in spirit to a "real" mai tai than anything else I drank on my trip. If you buy some, bet some dark rum to float, and a bit of fresh lime to revive the flavor if you can. Let me tell you, it's the only way to kick back and watch the sun set on a secluded beach on Lanai!
