The one on page 260 that uses TV's Mai Tai mix in addition to some of the other traditional Mai Tai ingredients. That "expert" label comes from James Teitelbaum, not me. That recipe with the Vic's mix is embarrassing today. Maybe the Mai Tai mix from the late 1990s is different than what you get today. Or more likely my palette has evolved. This is my current favorite recipe: ½ oz Appleton Reserve ½ oz Koloa Dark ½ oz El Dorado 12 year ½ oz Denizen’s Merchant Reserve ¾ oz Orange Curaçao ½ oz Orgeat ½ oz Simple Syrup Juice from 1 lime
