On a whim, we bought a bottle of Trader Vic's version of the ready to drink Mai Tai. The drink tasted much fruitier than the Koloa mix - it was reminiscent of the island favorite POG (passion - orange - guava). The rum was barely recognizable; the drink almost tasted non-alcoholic. The flavor was in line with how a Mai Tai should taste but it certainly did not have the signature strong rum presence. All in all, it is a better choice for a premixed MT than the Koloa mix, but is still not a sufficient substitute for the real deal.
3.5/10
