As far i have gotten very good drinks there and their Vics Mai Tai is really nice. This time i decided to have a Dons Mai Tai..but was really disappointed. The drink had a foul beige-light purple sort of color and the Pernod dominated the whole drink. I believe the Pernod used by Don B was the Absinthe brand Pernod..not the anise spirit Pernod...? Second, i have heard that the absinthe is supposed to be rimmed on the glass..and no more, just to create a tingling effect.. If mixed in the drink it will create a bad color. I have not been able to make this one properly at home because i lack the Pernod.
