    Great looking Mai Tai.. probably my second favourite drink! ...I wish I could get a good Martinique rum!

    Looks great, Ray! Love the rums you went with on this one, and I'm really curious to try your Demerara orgeat! Cheers!

      Thanks, Anders.
      I like your videos & take your comments to heart.
      I tried a few different combos before I tried these together and was happy with the taste. I just can't figure how this vid did so well with near 700 views and the review of the same Xaymaca rum is struggling to get 100.

    I really need to pick up those tiki bitters. They’ve been on my shopping cart for weeks. Haha. Great looking Mai Tai. Had my first one about 8 years ago in Hawaii and never looked back.

      Thanks, Trevor. I saw your Real McCoy 5 @ the liquor store I was at. I want the 15 but too pricy at $43. I just bought the Real McCoy 3/white a few weeks ago and need to do a review. I have Bannacourt 4, Appleton 12, Rum-Fire, Doorly's, and The Funk on my radar now for the best price.

    Sorry we’re two days late Ray. We took the weekend to de-tech a bit and headed to Animal Kingdom to see some animals over here. It was good but so hot that it wore us out for the day. Mai Tai drinks are some of my favorite but sometimes that rum just hits hard.
