LOST MAI TAI TIKI DRINK COCKTAIL

I got my hands - finally - on an edible orchid so I just had to do a Tiki Drink, right? Based on the classic Tiki cocktail, the Mai Tai, I've again played with the rules - a lot - and had a little fun with a classic. Mostly because I was out of Orange Curacao and only had the Blue variety on hand and, dammit, I wanted to use that orchid before it died!

So, in the true spirit of Mai Tai, which supposedly got it's name when a patron declared “Maita'i roa a'e” ("very good" in Tahitian), here's a Tiki drink that will knock your tie off.
The

Oh, and lock the cat out ...

Just in case you're not in the mood for a smart alec-y cocktail and want to try the original Mai Tai, here's the original Royal Hawaiian Hotel recipe.
