I never have fancy drinks unless I go out but I thought of you when I watched an old movie. A woman had a drink called a Singapore pearl diver. I looked it up but it contains something called Gardenia mix so I knew I was over my head.
I like the pin.

The Gardenia mix isn’t hard to make, though. 😊

I love a Pearl Diver!

sazeracla.bsky.social•45 days ago

Me too! Although I tend to ask @latitude29nola.bsky.social to make them for me because I tend to be too lazy to make tiki drinks at home. 😅

sonomalass.bsky.social•45 days ago

I make some at home, but we don’t use up mixes fast enough, so I’m grateful to have a good local tiki bar.

sazeracla.bsky.social•45 days ago

I wouldn’t use them fast enough either. We’d have to have a Pearl Diver party.

Hmm… 🤔🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Jungle Bird here, didn’t have the proper garnishes but it hit the spot after a long week.

My cocktail is accompanied by my new guillotine pin for… no particular reason.

The French were right.

Nice glassware.

Round 2 sounds better than a Samoa. Things being what they are, this tempts me to start drinking socially again. 🥥🍫

sazeracla.bsky.social•45 days ago

That rum is SUPERNATURALLY good!! 😍🥰🥥🥃

Round 2 sounds amazing

sazeracla.bsky.social•45 days ago

It is DELICIOUS! I think I could approximate the cookie/caramel flavor better with Luxardo Angioletto but I’m having a hell if a time finding it.

Regarding Round 1… California Fernet has tons of warm baking spices & none of the menthol of Branca, and is absolutely delightful. Worth finding!

stormmerc.bsky.social•45 days ago

I will have to take a look for it!

sazeracla.bsky.social•45 days ago

I hope you find some! It’s wonderful stuff.
