Altough my daughter can be quite the little horsewoman of the apocalipse, we use the removal of previleges and her detention spot (a corner in the living room, with no toys). When she wreaks havoc with a tantrum, the best way is to pay her no mind. Eventually she calms down and comes to us saying she's sorry.
Quite some time ago, we were at a restaurant where a wee lad started throwing the mother all fits because his ice cream dessert was wrong. His mum took him by the hand, led him outside and told him something like, 'When you can behave like a big boy, we'll go back and finish our ice cream.' Never raised a hand, never raised her voice - just took him out til he settled down and came back in.
Mum Of The Year, that one.
