1960s Mai Tai menu.
A la Frannie Halcyon, mix with a picher of Mai Tais and add best friend.
Trader Vic's Original Mai Tai recipe -
2 ounces of 17-year old J. Wray & Nephew Rum over shaved ice.
Add juice from one fresh lime.
1/2 ounce Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao.
1/4 ounce Trader Vic's Rock Candy Syrup.
1/2 ounce French Garier Orgeat Syrup
Shake vigorously.
Add a sprig of fresh mint
My version -
Large pitcher
Ice
Equal parts light and dark rum (both Old Oak)
Lime juice
Orange juice (Tropicana smooth)
Pineapple juice
Splash of grenadine

As I am not heading to the beach, maybe this is just what I need - a pitcher of mai tai's with a friend. I watched Talk of the Town last night - have you seen it? That charming house. I should be living on a 1940's country house set. All that chintz....
Mrs B - I prefer whiskey sours with my chintz.) I think we all just need a big ol' party.
so sad they shuttered the origanl trader vic's. a couple o' mai-tai's and a pu-pu platter in fauxleynesian splendor, was always a good time.
