Created in USA around 1944
The Mai Tai was allegedly first created in the 1940s by Victor J. Bergeron, aka 'Trader Vic', who wanted to showcase the quality of good rum. When his Tahitian friends tasted it, they exclaimed 'Maita'i roa ae!' which means 'Out of this world - the best!' and thus the drink was named.
