The Mai Tai must be the most bastardized cocktail in existence. Is there any other cocktail, that is served more by its imagined recipe, than its actual one.
If so, one doesnt come to mind. There oughta be a law. lol.
Here's a fun game. Order a Virgin Martini and see what you get. lol. You will instantly know the skill level of your bartender, and it produces a delightfully awkward moment.As a martini drinker, I'm appalled by all the unholy concoctions being marketed as martinis these days - apple martinis, caramel martinis, cranberry martinis, jalapeño martinis, ad nauseum.
