Ok, we've had our first snow of the season in New Jersey and I am in the middle of the winter blues, looking wistfully at our cruise pictures from July! Shy of booking another cruise at this moment (believe me, we are saving for another as we speak!!) does anyone have the recipe for those wonderful MAI TAI's they serve?? Didn't care for the Conch Coolers (or whatever they were called:D ) but I ADORED the Mai Tais!!:D

Anyone willing to bring some island sunshine to this snow depressed girl by sending the "secret recipe"?!:smooth:

Hey Dave, "IF I MAKE THEM WILL YOU COME??" :D

Paige - I'll try your recipe, but I just don't think it will be the same in front of the roaring fireplace in my flannel feetie pajamas and wool blanket. There's something to be said for the "island sun" and a smiling castmember serving your Mai Tai in a tall glass with a paper umbrella.

Then again, you CAN buy those paper umbrellas, even in NEW JERSEY!! :p
