It seems that every October through early January real life invades and doesn’t give up. Part of it has to do with the holidays in general and hand-making Christmas cards. Lots of family and friends birthdays in there too. And then work, the not-so-fun stuff that puts food on the table and rum on the shelf. Lots and lots of work. So much so that the little free time I have, I don’t want to spend online.

Well, Christmas 2007 has come and gone. No birthdays for a month or so. And work is relenting… somewhat.

What to do now?

Make a Mai Tai, of course!

Here’s Trader Vic’s Original Recipie– and what I think is the best. No matter your taste, if a Mai Tai is pink, send it back.

2 oz Jamaican Rum
1/2 oz Orgeat Syrup
1/2 oz Orange Curacao
1/4 oz Simple Syrup
Juice from 1 Fresh Lime
