Stuft Shirt Mai Tai
From Beachbum Berry's Remixed.
I've had a lot of bad Mai Tais in my day, and this one, which the Bum claims "commits every sin in the bogus Mai Tai playbook," did not disappoint. I was particularly horrified by the inclusion of Sauternes, a rather pricey French dessert wine that's typically imbibed with Foie Gras. As I happened to have a bottle of 2001 Château du Violon Sauternes lying around collecting dust in the wine cellar, I decided to mix up one of these abominations, and did not spare the top-shelf rums, including 12-year Appleton Jamaican Dark, Martinique VSOP, and Lemon Hart 151 old label.
My friends, it tastes as awful as it sounds, but I feel strangely at peace knowing that no Mai Tai I could ever order from this day forward, could ever match its sheer awfulness.

Mai Tai made with Appleton's Special and Tanduay Dark Rhum, and since I wanted to pretend I was in Hawaii I used some pineapple juice in it.
