Simple recipe, but didn't care for the taste which was very disappointing since I made a whole pitcher! Don't know if it was the coconut rum, but something gave it a funky taste ~ and everything was just purchased to make these. I will continue my quest for a good one!

Added splash of dark rum on top (very fruity if you don't) and my parents who LOVE mai tai's said this was the best they have ever had!

I don't care that this is not an "authentic" Mai Tai - it is a pretty darn good drink - whatever it really is! I love the hint of spiciness from the spiced rum. I do want to try it again, this time adding the Amaretto & fresh lime as suggested by others. I do think that there's definitely enough coconut rum & would not add more. We were camping on the beach in the central California coast & as written, this refreshing cocktail fit right in!

Fabulous, easy... love the addition of coconut rum. Brings me back to sitting by pool in Hawaii.

Great drink! Mai Tai's are one of our favorite drinks. I have made many many versions and this one is a great version. I do think it is a MUST to add amaretto in this as well to get the almond flavor that Mai Tai's have. Also half of a freshly squeezed lime is great in it as well! I like to add the lime and amaretto in it to make a more authentic tasting Mai Tai, but this recipe is for sure still great as written. Thanks for the recipe! This will be added to the list of favorites.

Excellent, makes a great Mai Tai. I added an extra ounce of coconut rum to balance the taste. Great recipe!

This drink is awesome...takes you right to the islands! I agree with other viewers to use equal parts of spiced rum and coconut rum. I made enough for 2 so I used 2 jiggers of each and a 6 oz can of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of oj and only 1 t. of grenadine. Absolutely delicious!
