It may taste good, but it's not a Mai Tai. Mai tais are Hawaiian drinks, and they feature pineapple juice. Without pineapple, you can't even begin to call it a mai tai. It is absolutely essential. I notice that the recipe does include almond (orgeat) syrup, which is a plus because it does belong in a mai tai and most recipes exclude it.
