At my last luau, it was the least popular. The chicken skewers (Sabu's Spicy Coconut ones) flew out with everything else. So, although it is perhaps traditional, you might swap it out. You can buy banana leaves frozen in Asian grocery stores if there are any in your area. I would not suggest the Mai Tai myself. It is a well known name, but not the drink the average person will go for. Too sour. A very simple drink that everyone will rave over is the Painkiller. You'll sell a crapload of those.
