Of course, I had to take on something like the Pearl Diver Punch. I didn't have all of the exact ingredients so I made some substitutions. I didn't have orange blossom honey, so I used clover honey with a dash of orange flower water. I didnt havve cinnamon syrup, so I used my Navy Grog syrup which has cinnamon, pimento and vanilla. I didn't have Appleton Special, so I used Appleton gold with a little added Barbancourt and Pyrat XO. It came out interesting. The strangest was the butter mixture. Even though it was very soft, almost fluid after mixed with the honey and syrups, it did clump up some in the blender with the ice. You can see in the picture the separation and the bits of butter sticking to the sides of the glass. Taste wise, it was a bit of a disappointment. Not bad, but I guess I expected more. Maybe I'll try again sometime without the substitutions. Or perhaps I will move on to another drink.
