How I Celebrated

I always thought that fruity drinks were delicious and when I saw Mai Tai on my menu, I thought I was just going to have a bunch of juice. Turns out I got to use that orange blossom water to make something called orgeat syrup. It is very fragrant. It makes the juice taste different for sure. I don't hate it. Oh and I had no idea what a bomb pop was until I searched it. We got a different brand because it was like a fourth of the price. WTF bomb pops?

History

So Mai Tai is because of the Tahitian word Maita'i. Very interesting story, Islanders represent. Also, I didn't realize that is what a bomb pop was so just so everyone knows, it is a popsicle.
