Possibly the BEST Island Mai Tai | Halekulani Mai Tai

Island Mai Tais can get a bad rap. I even did a video on them and why I think they are the WORST Mai Tai around, The WORST Mai Tai, EVER!! | Easy Tiki Drinks. But there is one island Mai Tai that stands out above the rest, and it even has a float! The Mai Tai from the Room without a Key bar at the Halekulani Resort in Waikiki. This Mai Tai is more closely related to Trader Vic’s 1944 recipe than it is the orange and pineapple sugar bombs we get now-a-days. Make sure to watch to the end as I give my thoughts on floats in cocktails. Cheers!
