Issued at 20% ABV and sold in this great looking flask-style bottle, I so wanted to like the Mai Tai made with Myers’s Original Dark Rum from Jamaica. But there are no other ingredients listed, which should have been the key warning sign.
Does it taste anything like a Mai Tai? Not even close.
It tastes like an artificially flavored Fuzzy Navel, with a conspicuous peach-forward taste.
I barely took two sips before pouring it out and reaching into the fridge for one of the Trader Vic’s canned Mai Tais that I have stashed there. So much better.
100% agree. We were traveling, and did not have all the ingredients for a real Mai Thai. saw this in a store and decided to give it a try. it was truly disgusting. I have had plenty of cocktails that called themselves a Mai Tai, that tasted nothing like a Mai Thai but we’re totally drinkable. This was undrinkable swill. Obviously made with something like Roses Lime Cordial. Tasted like somebody dissolved a bunch of lime jawbreakers in water, and put it in a bottle. The crappy Myers rum did not help much. we did everything we could to try to doctor it and make it drinkable, but in the end we just poured it down the drain. We had only poured two glasses, and had almost half a bottle left. We just threw that in the trash. The stuff is absolute garbage.
