IF YOU DRINK MAI TAI FROM TRADERVIC ITS WONDERFUL YOU WILL LOVE THE DRINK
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!The only thing better thn a Trader Vics Mai Tai is a second Trader Vics Mai Tai. Clasic and best
There’s nothing better than the ORIGINAL! Just having returned to the mainland from Maui, I can tell you very few places use this (the original) Mai Tai recipe but the ones you make at home are “Heaven in a Glass”. For the main ingredient Trader Vic used “a bottle of 17-year old rum. It was J. Wray & Nephew from Jamaica-surprisingly golden in color, medium bodied, but with the rich pungent flavor particular to the Jamaican blends”. I must say this drink is a TRUE CLASSIC!
The closest thing to J. Wray & Nephew these days is Appleton Estate rum (same company). Dark plus white rum is the best for the drink.
