April 6th, 2009 - Jeff Berry: “Who’s your daddy? A Mai Tai Paternity Test”
The Mai Tai War has raged for over half a century, and it ain’t over yet. Bandleader Harry Owens claimed he introduced the Mai Tai to the world in 1954. Trader Vic claimed he invented the Mai Tai in 1944; his widow insists he invented it in 1933. Jeff “Beachbum” Berry will examine the evidence, and shake up samples of different Mai Tai recipes. Special guest, rum historian Stephen Remsberg, will discuss the original (now extinct) rums used in these recipes, and how their flavor profiles influenced Tiki mixologists back in the day.
