Trader Vic's Mai Tai Day 2025

🍸 A Cocktail Worth Celebrating

The Mai Tai was born when Trader Vic combined aged Jamaican rum, lime, orange curaçao, and a touch of magic. Upon tasting it, his Tahitian guests exclaimed “Mai Tai-Roa Ae!”—“Out of this world—the best!” And the rest is cocktail history.

🚗 Getting There

There’s no onsite parking, so attendees are encouraged to use public transit or rideshare. Street parking is limited, so plan ahead for a smooth arrival.

Whether you’re a tiki aficionado or just craving a sip of island spirit, Mai Tai Day 2025 is your chance to raise a glass to one of the most iconic cocktails ever created. 🍍 You can grab tickets and explore more details on Trader Vic’s official event page.
