Here's a Mai Tai I made as close as I could to Jeff Berry's Hundred Dollar Mai Tai (couldn't find the right curacao but used my own homemade demerara syrup) Does it look ok? :) |

Tell us more of this demerara syrup you speak of. Is it just demerara sugar and water? |

It's just a fancy name for raw cane sugar. but yes it's just simple syrup made with raw cane sugar and water. The syrup will have a darker color than regular simple syrup but I think it tastes better. And it tasted wonderful. Can't wait to have another. Heh. |

Thanks Tikigap, There's only a few more places in Los Angeles serving Mai Tai's that I need to try, after that I guess I'll have to leave town to search for some new ones. I'll let you know when I get close to Arlington. :) |

A Mai Tai from the Tahitian Lounge in the Waldorf Hotel, in Vancouver, BC (Taken June 23, 2008). Not too bad of a mai tai, all in all (for Vancouver, with no other Tiki anywhere). Thanks TabooDan for tellin' me about the Tahitian Lounge (check out my other pictures in the Locating Tiki section. |

Welcome to TC Magnus! Your Mai Tais look excellent, they look almost exactly like they serve them at Trader Vic's. Now I'm thirsty and four more hours to go at work. |

I would say so, better drinks at the Twin Dragon but friendlier staff at Fu's or Wan Q. You'll have to check it out and let us know what you think. |

Hi All, I've been M.I.A for a while, but this is a great post. This picture was taken in Maui at the "Feast of Lele" It was one of the most expensive luau I've been to, but it is so worth every penny. This was the MaiTai they served us prior the show. This was the fire knife show later that night. The Monitors [ Edited by: The Monitors 2008-08-07 23:30 ] [ Edited by: The Monitors 2008-08-07 23:32 ] |

WOW! I never thought this thread would get so much traffic! Here's my Wahini with a special Mai Tai from Shanghai Village in Bethesda, Maryland. Any Mai Tai you can get from this place in suburban Washington DC, is TV style top-notch. [ Edited by: tikigap 2008-09-18 06:00 ] |

Labor day weekend 2008 I was behind my portable tiki bar and I was providing refreshments at a little reunion I go to every year. I was in mass production mode this year and we mixed about 100 of Beachbum Berrys Hundred Dollar Mai Tais. Every one of them looked great and tasted even better.

Actually this was the first one. It was a little red not from grenadine but red passion mix. The second one was spot on , I asked for an original version. [ Edited by: Ojaitimo 2008-09-24 11:52 ] |

My first real mai tai Made with 2 oz of Appletons Extra Reserve. Much tarter than I expected, and the rum really came forward more than I usually like. Having said that, it is a remarkably well balanced drink. The rum flavor shines through, while the other ingredients temper the fire a bit. My first one I used an entire lime, and it sort of overpowered the rest of the ingredients. The second one I measured out 1 1/2 oz (per the Grog log) and I could taste the rest of the ingredients. Lovely drink, and definitely a regular in the rotation!!! |

Made a few Mai Tais last night. Due to a winter storm and 12" of snow I didn't want bust out the 4 x 4 and go for the garnish. Kinda hard to see the drink in the glass but it didn't last long anyway. |

Ahhh... Emeryville. And... my personal Mai-Tai set up in the kitchen. Pardon the mess... we had just moved in. Not the traditional Mai-Tai glass, for sure, but I like to whip up a double in the Conga Room mug... fits perfecty. [ Edited by: CucamongaChango 2008-12-07 13:22 ] |

:D I find it makes the best crushed ice for Tiki drinks. Lots of different sizes, keeps everything nice and cool. |

Use an ICE CRUSHER, not a blender. Waring makes a "pro" model that is about $80. There are cheaper ones, but not sure how they will hold up in the long run. Good ice really make a difference...at least to me. Mike |

EBAY!!!! You can find vintage ice-o-matics for under $15 (if you can deal with pea soup green). They are awesome. Besides every house needs a wall mounted ice crusher. [ Edited by: jingleheimerschmidt 2008-12-08 14:54 ] |
