"Isn't that the very answer to your original question?" No, it isn't. But if it were, then everyone on this forum denied it. Because apparently the B.Y.C.C. is nothing like the Mai Tai. And apparently the ingredients aren't even similar, not at all apparently!-) According to most people on this forum they are two completely different drinks/ Recipes. I guess this is the difference between hobbyist mixologists and professionals. A hobbyist dwells on the supposed differences, while the professional notices the similarities instinctively. Cheers!
