"This is a slight modification of Trader Vic's original recipe (I chose those rums, because I think they lend an excellent flavor to this drink.) You may choose any rum you want (its a matter of taste, as I see it), just make sure its 2 ounces.
There is NO pineapple juice, NO sweet and sour, NO orange juice... and NO BLENDER (unless you are using one to crush the ice) The travesties there are out there these days claiming to be a mai tai are both amusing and sad. Try one like this and see.. everyone I have made one for has come to realize the truth about the real Mai Tai: it truly is.. the best."
