I agree with Meegan about it being too sweet. I added just a touch of club soda to cut the sweetness and make it more refreshing. I've had a love affair with Mai Tais for 50 years and counting. I ordered a gross of little drink umbrellas from Amazon to take back to Mexico with me this winter.

Next time I try this I will eliminate the simple sugar - it is just a tad too sweet. I added more OJ to cut it this time.
