		Among Trader Vic's more tantalizing legacies is the original Mai Tai, the bracingly refreshing rum cocktail he created at his Oakland restaurant in 1944 and introduced to the Hawaiian islands in the 1950s.
		In creating his new cocktail, Trader Vic employed what was becoming the ever-present hallmark of all his recipes: a light touch, meant to enhance but never disguise nor overpower the fine original taste of the main ingredients.
		Trader Vic truly "wrote the book" on tropical mixed drinks and Polynesian-style food: Doubleday published Trader Vic's Book of Food and Drink in 1946 and the first of several editions of his Bartender's Guide in 1947.
