The first edition of my compiled cookbook contained no recipes from my older brother, because... well... he couldn't quite make my deadline. As it was, our mom had to travel to California to get the handful of recipes I have from him and my sis-in-law now (that will go into the 2nd edition, eventually).

Here's his recipe for Mai Tais.

Mai Tai
Whaler's Dark Rum (do not substitute)
Triple Sec
Amaretto di Saronno
Pineapple juice
Grenadine (optional)
Ice
Directions: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Add equal parts of Whaler's Dark Rum (use this specifically), Triple Sec and amaretto until the glass is 3/4 full. Top with pineapple juice, and float a layer of grenadine on top.
