Right, that’s what we buy for our hotel fridge when visiting the islands. Much better than Trader Vic’s.

Still, the symbolism matters here. We would miss the Mai Tais, even if they weren’t great. (on our most recent flight, the FA asked us if we wanted to try her “special recipe” as she thought it was better. I don’t recall what it was, but it was tasty)
