Grab an ORIGINAL Mai Tai, limited time only

[Chicago Jake]

I reply more than I post, so I'm not sure I'm putting this in the right forum. But I thought the folks round here might appreciate this article about a bar serving Mai Tais made with the original ingredients, while their supply lasts.

This Chicago Bar Is Serving an $800 Mai Tai Made With the Original Ingredients From the 1940s

The Bamboo Room is taking inspiration from the early days of tiki-bar legend Trader Vic’s.

Interesting. I wonder where these bottles came from? An old dusty basement somewhere? Or the backroom with cheaper booze and a funnel?

I wondered that, too. The article says they have enough ingredients to make "fewer than a dozen" actual drinks, so they probably have exactly one bottle of at least one of the ingredients.
