The comment about a nice tall drink to sip is a good one - something I really appreciate about tiki drinks. Especially when it's a double Jet Pilot :) Nice post!

Just let the Tiki seduce you and enrich your life, you won`t regret it - its definetily something special about a tall tiki drink I made a extremely rare find here a few days ago, you simply do not find tiki mugs here in the second hand shops..at least not so easily but behind a bunch of shakers i actually did! Last night i had a Kamehameha Punch. True about the crushed ice for the Mai Tai – and the mint!

The Tiki way is subtle, yet seductive. If you let it get its hooks into you at all, it never really lets go.... Two: My Mai Tai recommendation is to goose the lime juice to 3/4 oz, and replace all the rum with two ounces of Mount Gay XO. One: Look out dude! The Tiki way is subtle, yet seductive.

I use a Mai Tai glass that I found on e-bay and fill that sucker to the rim with crushed ice. The ice dilutes the drink just the right amount. I use Vic's recipe and actually prefer Appelton Rum which is pretty damn cheap but I find very flavorful. I think the most important thing about a Mai Tai is using crushed or shaved ice.
