Trader Vic's Mai Tai Recipe (Present Day)

By the early 1960s, the Mai Tai had emerged as one of the world's most popular alcoholic beverages.  Capitalizing on this success, Trade Vic's son, Victor Bergeron, III, decided to commercialize production of his father's rum-based libation by producing the brand's own Trader Vic's Jamaican Rum and Trader Vic's Mai Tai Mix, which are still in use in the iconic tiki restaurant today.
