A hummingbird nest in my backyard on April 5, 2016.  Sometimes you don’t have to travel far to see beautiful wonders.
I just needed a substitute for my Kaua’i withdrawal.  It’s not a traditional Mai Tai, but my version.  It’s damn good and I call it My Tai:).  It’s made with spiced rum, coconut rum, grenadine, pineapple and orange juice.  Make it and then call it Your Tai :).
