Waikiki hotels throw themselves on the bait on the market, cheap Mai Tais, use lower rums and exchange lime juice for their own home pineapple juice. Now Mai Tai is just a large, sweet glass that should not go by the name mai tai .

When it first appeared, the Would cocktail just returned you back $ 1.25 (USD). Now you can expect to pay up to $ 7 for the real thing. There are about 6,000 drinks in Hawaii and many of the finer bars and hotels serve Mai Tai,as intended.
