Confirmation: It sucks

I was in Fiji once. Being on a South Pacific island, I figured a Mai Tai would be appropriate. Bad idea. I finished the sugar drink, sure — I didn't want to be rude — but immediately switched back the home-grown Fijian beer, which is quite tasty.

The second time around wasn't much better. Rum, more rum, Triple Sec, pineapple juice, sour mix, and a little more of my walnut flavoring (it's supposed to be creme de almond, but I refuse to buy anything with "creme" in the name). Yup, supersweet. Blech. And I didn't even put a cherry in it.


Manly or Girly? All-the-way female
Appearance: Mine was kind of a rusty brown; not sure if that's the right color
Consistency: A little on the syrupy side
Taste: Blech.
Stomach acceptance: Fine, but I can accept almost anything.
Good drink for: Pretending you're having a cocktail.
Hangover factor: Medium.
Would I actually order this in public? Never, ever again.
