Okay -- I'm going to be making Mai Tais at the office xmas party and all my sources for St. James Martinique Rum are dry, so I'd like to get advice on what would be the best substitute. I'm using Appleton Estate for the Jamaican rum, TV brand for Orgeat and Rock Candy Syrup.

Seems to be a common problem here in Florida ... I mean who would figure that the state in nearest proximity to the Caribbean would run out of Martinique rum?!?!? I had a whine about it in my blog at cybertiki.com just yesterday, so it was funny to come across your post today. Fortunately, you can always get Martinique rum online (in most states, including Florida). The following link will take you to Randalls which is where I get a lot of the more 'exotic' spirits that one can't find here in Florida. Cheers!

Stay on the beach. The natives over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men.
