From Wikipedia:
...Can I beat Kevin's version?<br /><br />From Wikipedia:<br /><br />"The Mai Tai is a well-known alcoholic cocktail purportedly invented at the Trader Vic's "Polynesian-style" restaurant in Oakland, California in 1944. Trader Vic's amicable rival, Don the Beachcomber, claimed to have created it first in 1933 at his own newly opened little bar (later a famous restaurant) in Hollywood. The Beachcomber's recipe is far more complicated than that of the Trader's and tastes quite different.[1]<br /><br />"Maita'i" is the Tahitian word for "good." The spelling of the drink, however, is two words.[2][3][4]<br /><br />The Trader Vic story of its invention is that the Trader (Victor J. Bergeron) created it one afternoon for some friends who were visiting from Tahiti. One of them tasted it and cried out: "Maita'i roa!" (Literally "good very!", figuratively "Out of this world!") — hence the name."<br /><br />Wiki also gives recipes, as you did!Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13581327.post-59215856804518023502009-07-14T06:42:29.220-05:002009-07-14T06:42:29.220-05:00Very clever, kevin.Very clever, kevin.Mark Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746027017657987261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13581327.post-75710690730189542132009-07-12T13:11:51.940-05:002009-07-12T13:11:51.940-05:00A lengendary story about two drunks in a bar.

So, he pointed her out to his fellow drunken buddy and said "my tail."<br /><br />But, because he was drunk, he slurred it and it came out as "Mai Tai."<br /><br />Being of Thai descent, she was not ammused. She came back and slapped both drunks. The bartender had known her father back in the war and had always felt protective of her. To restore her honor he created the drink.Kevin R.
