 ====== Mai Tai ======
-===== Main Street Pour House - Woodstock, IL =====
+I used to get the best Mai Tai's at Jimmy Wong's on Wabash in downtown Chicago (45 years ago). Unfortunately they are no more. Pre-made Mai Tai 'mixers' used to be commonly available, but they never gave the same results, and have generally been replaced by margaritta mixers on the store shelves. I realized that the complexity of a Mai Tai is the liquors, not the fruit juice, so here is my recipe for a mixer that will let you throw together a decent Mai Tai with minimum effort:
+===== Mai Tai Mixer =====
+  * 10 oz (1 ¼ cup) silver Rum
+  * 10 oz (1 ¼ cup) gold Rum
+  * 4 oz (½ cup) Ameretto
+  * 2 oz (¼ cup) Grenadine
+  * 2 oz (¼ cup) Triple Sec
+If you prepare the mixer ahead, you're never more than a few seconds away from a Mai Tai!
+Use 2 oz mixer (more or less to taste), add 6 oz Pineaple juice (I keep a few 6 oz cans in the fridge), ice. Finish with fruit garnish and little unbrella.
