The question was one of many interruptions that Taylor and I exchanged throughout the work day.<\/p>\n

“What?” I asked.<\/p>\n

“Mai Tais.” Taylor answered. The beginnings of a grin crept onto his face, hinting at the master plan he was about to reveal to me.<\/p>\n

“Think about it,” he continued, “you’re in Hawaii\u2014a laid-back, tropical place\u2014so of course everyone that comes here is probably wondering where they can get a good Mai Tai:\u00a0we should write about this<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

So began what I termed “The Mai Tai Project,” in which Taylor and I explored different bars and restaurants around Waikiki, tasting Mai Tais and judging them according to our own metrics.<\/p>\n

In part one, Taylor discussed the origins of the Mai Tai<\/a>, and what we at Hawaii Activities would be looking for in this tropically-inclined beverage.<\/p>\n

Part two began our first experience as Taylor sat down for a drink at Moose’s<\/a> in Waikiki.<\/p>\n

Part three was my own learning experience in Arnold’s<\/a>, the first of many Tiki bars we would visit.<\/p>\n

Part four details a short, after-work happy hour at Duke’s<\/a> in Waikiki, featuring an outside bar with beach and swimming pool nearby.<\/p>\n

Part five continues the tiki theme (begun in part three) as I visited Cuckoo Coconuts<\/a>, an open-air restaurant and bar tucked away right behind the HA office building.<\/p>\n

Part six was a departure from the Waikiki tiki scene, as I stopped by the nook<\/a> to try out their classic-ish Mai Tai, which was much more subtle than your typical tiki cocktail.<\/p>\n

I also attended the annual Mai Tai festival<\/a> held at Royal Kona Resort on the Big Island. This year’s festival was on August 19th<\/a>, and the winner of the mix-off was Kevin Beary, from Three Dots & a Dash in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Returning to Waikiki, part seven takes place tucked away under a hotel right next to Ala Wai Harbor in the cozy Harbor Pub<\/a>, where the Mai Tais are mostly rum.<\/p>\n

Conversely, Bar 35’s Mai Tais<\/a>\u2014the subject of part eight\u2014are full of flavor, with the bite of the alcohol being virtually nonexistent.<\/p>\n

Our last entry in the saga (for now) was at Bar Leather Apron, trying out the Mai Tai to end all Mai Tais<\/a>, the winner of the 2015 Mai Tai Festival as mixed by Justin Park.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We aren’t done drinking, of course, and we’ll still write about various bars, restaurants, and eateries around Waikiki and Honolulu and wherever else we might visit in addition to our regularly-scheduled articles on travel and Hawaii.<\/p>\n

This chapter of our blog is complete, though, and we’re glad to have had you along for the ride.<\/p>\n
