Three Dots and a Dash, a tiki bar in Chicago, has recreated the original Trader Vic mai tai. And it costs a cool $800 to try.
is one of the most enduringly popular cocktails of all time. It’s also one of the most misunderstood. The undisputed king of tiki tipples is often rendered today as a sugary sweet assortment of tropical juices and spiced rums. But that’s not at all how the drink tasted when it was first conceived by “Trader Vic” Bergeron almost 80 years ago. Originally, it would have been a drier, less fruity affair — a daiquiri variation built upon funky Jamaican rum, orange curaçao, and almond syrup.
"One of the biggest lessons for me in recreating the old Mai Tai was seeing that the vintage curaçao from 1944 was significantly sweeter than the curaçao of today," said Beary after the makeshift Tiki-Con. "That difference really helps me understand why the original recipe reads as dry and unbalanced as it does because one of those crucial ingredients was sweeter back then.
Bergeron was initially using a 17-year-old expression, but within a few years, the runaway success of his creation had depleted the global supply of the spirit. So, by the early 1950s, he had switched to the exact mark of rum that Three Dots now holds.
