“This is my spin on a mai tai,” says Steinhauer. “The name is a reference to Trader Vic, who had a wooden leg and of course created this classic drink. Its flavor leans more toward the tart and strong side but still has enough sweetness to make anyone happy. The addition of the St. Augustine Rum as a float is to show off that funky banana nose.”
