[arg_discuss] ARGFest! Atlanta! Mai Tais!

[Michael Monello]

My heart is heavy with sadness over the characterization of the Mai Tai as an "umbrella drink." 

"Mother's Milk" is a much more appropriate term. Don't underestimate the strength and complexity of a real Trader Vic's Mai Tai:

1 ounce aged Jamaican rum
1 ounce Martinique rum
1/2 ounce Orange Curaçao
1/4 ounce Orgeat
1/4 ounce Rock Candy syrup.
Juice of one fresh lime.

This ain't no Piña Colada!

;)
