My dad worked for The Trader at his restaurant (I remember meeting him when I was a kid). Great memories!

We use his recipe (or as close as we can considering the rums he used). However, we loved the fruity mai tais at Tahiti Nui on Kauai and adopted their idea of a dark rum float.

I second the recommendation for Small Hands orgeat—so good.

A couple of months back I had my first Mai Tai at a music festival. It felt like the more sophisticated older sister to a pina colada. I was won over! I’m glad to see this recipe on your blog because I had almost forgotten about the yummy drink. I’m now incentived to pick up the liqueurs and make it for myself!

In reply to Eve. You could try it, but would change the taste more than likely. Let me know if you try it!

In reply to Tiffany. Hi Tiffany! I'm happy you enjoyed it. Creamy almond color, hmm. Possibly brand of liquor you used? I'm glad it still tasted delicious!
