Have to agree with the first reviewer - this drinks recipe is first-class. Made it to sip with company while watching the Eurovision song contest, and I just say this helped in making an unforgettable evening. Absolultely delicious. Summery and tropical. A definite keeper.

Great taste! I used simple syrup because I was out of Orgeat, used Pineapple juice instead of lemon juice and I floated the dark rum on top of my mixed cocktail to look more like a proper Mai Tai.

This is a wonderful drink. CLASSIC! By the Way...You can find almond syrup in the coffee section of the grocery store most of the time.
