Casablanca's Mai Tai...Play it Again, Mike!

Location: Casablanca Restaurant, Poipu

1. Presentation : Nice glass, great layering, no umbrella but a THREE-fruit garnish (pineapple, lime and a cherry!)

Score :4+

2. Flavour : Rummmmmmmmy! This top shelf combination of white, dark and spiced rum could put an unsuspecting drinker under the table if taken on an empty stomach!
Score : 3

3. Location Ambiance : This Italian/Moroccan fusion restaurant didn’t exactly exude “Polynesian”, but it was open-aired, beautiful and featured live music from a very friendly, famous local surfer/musician (Mike).
Score :2

4. Psychomotor Effect : This is one Mai Tai that commands respect from the first sip! Unlike other Mai Tai’s we’ve had so far, there’s no way either one of us was going to knock back more than one of these guys without regretting it.

Score : 4

5. Server Enthusiasm : The service at Casablanca’s was excellent, as were our meals. It’s not very often you go out for dinner and are told not to rush because the table is yours for the evening. Upon hearing about our quest, our lovely waitress invited us back for a “special” happy hour Mai Tai on Tuesday. Sounds like an offer we shouldn’t refuse!
Score : 4+

6. Cost : $10 US. Slightly higher than other top shelf’s we’ve seen.
Score : 2+

Overall Score : 3+, nearly 4
