The Mai Tai is the flagship cocktail of all Tiki drinks. Tiki culture is something that became really popular in the 1950's when people would want to travel to somewhere really exotic, but didn't exactly want to spend the money or go through the trouble of getting there. So instead they would just go to their local Tiki bar and order a tropical drink that made them feel like they were on the beach.
