I love P.F. Chang's Mai Tai. DH found this recipe on Top Secret Recipes. We think this is pretty close, and really delicious. This is the way we make our mai tai's! Enjoy!

Followed the recipe exactly, added a little marachino cherry juice (a teaspoon or so, just for color) along with the cherries. It came out just perfect and what I expected from a good Mai Tai. And *so* simple to make. The flavors were nicely balanced.

I've never had a mai tai from PF Chang's, but I love them so had to try! This is the first one I've actually prepared myself but it was very good and tasted like a bartender made it! Yay me! Keeper! I did use simple syrup instead of the orgeat syrup, otherwise made as posted.
