-I used to get the best Mai Tai's at Jimmy Wong's on Wabash in downtown Chicago. 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 Pre-made Mai Tai 'mixers' used to be commonly available, but they never gave the same results, and have generally been replaced by margaritta mixers on the store shelves.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 liquirs, 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:+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 Pre-made Mai Tai 'mixers' used to be commonly available, but they never gave the same results, and have generally been replaced by margaritta mixers on the store shelves.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 ===== ===== Mai Tai Mixer =====
- 
-  * 1 cup silver Rum 
-  * 1 cup gold Rum 
-  * 1/2 cup Ameretto 
-  * 2 oz (1/4 cup) Grenadine 
- 
-Combine in an empty 750ml bottle, you're always ready to make a Mai Tai on a moment's notice! Combine 2 to 2.5 oz Mai Tai mixer with 6 oz pinaple juice over ice. Enjoy! (little umbrella optional)

-==== Mai Tai Mixer Rev1 (wip) ==== 
- 
-  * 1 cup silver Rum 
-  * 1 cup gold Rum 
-  * 1/2 cup Ameretto 
-  * 2 oz (1/4 cup) Grenadine 
-  * 1/4 cup Triple Sec 
- 
-Treaking the recipe, this one is a little too sweet, but the triple sec improves the profile.

-==== Mai Tai Mixer Rev2 (wip) ====

-Another tweakhoping to cut the sweetness a little+If you prepare the mixer aheadyou'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 few 6 oz cans in the fridge), ice. Finish with fruit garnish and little unbrella.
