Here's my twist on a Don the Beachcomber classic f

Here's my twist on a Don the Beachcomber classic for National Cocktail Day. The same unique flavors of the distinctive Pearl Diver's Punch, but served up in a coupe. Like the original, it's a complex blend of rich and savory, spicy and rummy, tart and creamy. The flavors are more concentrated, but it's still very easy to sip. I hope Donn would approve. Okole maluna!

PEARL DIVER'S COCKTAIL
* 1/2 ounce gold Jamaican rum (Hamilton Pot Still)
* 3/4 ounce Demerara rum (Hamilton 86)
* 1 ounce gold Puerto Rican rum (Bacardi Reserva Ocho)
* 3/4 ounce Gardenia Mix (aka Pearl Diver Mix)
* 1/2 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
* 1/2 ounce fresh orange juice
* 1 teaspoon falernum
* 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Pulse blend (or shake vigorously) with crushed ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orchid.

I can't wait for Tim "Swanky" Glazner's upcoming book, "Searching for Don the Beachcomber," to learn the full story of the Tiki and cocktail legend. Get more info at Donn-Beach.com and @donnbeachcomber

RIP Rolly Crump, a one-of-a-kind legend and renaissance man. … Posted @withregram • @waltdisneymuseum Disney Legend and True Original Rolly Crump passed away at the age of 93. Rolly originally joined Disney as an animator in the 1950s before transitioning to an Imagineer. Rolly’s unique style and vision heavily contributed to the Haunted Mansion, Enchanted Tiki Room, it’s a small world and the iconic Tower of the Four Winds used at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. He even appeared alongside Walt Disney on television to showcase these attractions while they were still in development. Rolly was named a Disney Legend in 2004 and was even honored with a window on Main Street at Disneyland.
