Do you make a twist of the pineapple slice - I think that is so neat when I
see it on TV.  Oh, wait, that was a lemon slice, but I imagine you could do
it with a slice of pineapple.  I had a mai tai when I was in Hawaii in
1963 - very lucious and enjoyable.

 I was too young to drink all the time I was in Hawaii.  <G>

 The same restaurant that recipe came from has/had an "Aloha Kiss"
 that came with a lei.  The idea behind it was for a fellow to
 order the drink and give his date the lei with a kiss.
