Like it says this is the very best,First time I had ever made a MAI TAI. DH said it was very good. We use to order them a lot when we went out. Brought back good memories. Thanks Country Lady.

This was just OK to me .. very pretty color, but it seemed a bit strong to me. I added more grenadine and it was better. -
Great drink! Sweet and packs a punch...even my husbee drank it and we got gleefully dim! BUT, where's the almond??? Maybe needs a splash of amaretto or orgeat syrup...other than that...a delightful way to get LIT! Reminds me of Musashi Mai Tai which is delicious and served with a flaming sugar cube.

Mai Tai does not translate to very best it translates to out of this world. It's a good drink though. -
This is my favorite drink!

This is the VERY best Mai Tai I have had! Much better than some I have had in Hawaii! I followed directions except for the fact I used fast dissolving sugar in place of powdered suger. This drink is a MUST try!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
