Review:

Not quite the best, but this long, fruity thirst quencher isn't half bad.

History:

Discovered in 2003 at Booly Mardy's, Glasgow, Scotland. Cocktail aficionados will be familiar with the Tahitian phrase Mai Tai - Roa Ae, or 'out of this world - the best', which gave the Mai Tai its name. This cocktail means simply 'the best'.
