Spring Break 2022 - Trader John's Mai Tai

Monday, April 4, 2022

Spring Break 2022! Made it to Phoenix and were picked up at PHX by Dianne and Brenda. It's great to be here and great to see some sunshine. 

It looked like what you see above just before we left for the airport this morning. 

Shortly after getting to John and Dianne's we headed over to Brenda and Irv's new place to help them move their TV.

They've got a corner unit which is nice because they get two patios.

Irv had this bottle of Bombay Sapphire on the counter. Sweet how he labeled it. I made a gin and tonic when we got back to John and Dianne's. 

The gin and tonic along with the warm weather all felt very summery.

Felt so nice to be outside in shorts and short sleeves.

John offered to make me a Trader Vic's Mai Tai. Of course I accepted. 

John grilled salmon and romaine lettuce for dinner. It was all very divine. He's a master of the grill. 

Here's the recipe John used for the Mai Tai with a few modifications he made. We'll call his version Trader John's Mai Tai.
