Outstanding collection of photos! Any comment on which one(s) tasted best-or worst? I'll bet that the Mai Tai at smugglers Cove rocked.

The Smugglers Cove Mai Tai was great, I also liked the Tar Pit's and Caña's, Tahiti Joe's was probably the worst.

Boris, what did you think of the Galley's Mai Tai? I drink a lot of them even though it's Hawaiian-style.
And don't you hate it when they don't serve it up in an old-fashioned glass. That really ruins the experience for me.

It was STRONG but I liked it. Their happy hour is really good, I should go more often. 
Yes, a Double Old Fashioned glass is the best way to go, I've seen some in pint glasses and that's the worst.

The glass is from Tony's on the Pier in Redondo Beach, the glass comes with every Mai Tai.
Good luck trying to leave without one.

I found a Tony's glass at a Goodwill here in Denver a few months back.
The glass made it through one half of a mai-tai before a cat sent it crashing to the floor.

Hiltiki,
I think the picture makes it look like there was more than there really was.

Suddenly I'm thirsty for something cold and refreshing...a Mai Tai for sure!

What a fantastic thread!
Here are some Mai-Tai's from The Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian, Waikiki. One is an off-menu Trader Vic's Mai Tai (yummy!), and the other is a ginger infused Mai Tai Degeneres (Ms. VanTiki's favorite).
