Tonight might be the night of unsuccessful drinks but also some positives:

No 1, Pearl Diver.
Weird drink! Not terrible, just weird. It looks wierd too as bits of goo float in the glass (I didn't strain it) & the texture is slightly unusual. The small amount of cinnamon syrup is surprisingly prevalent in the drink & the Dons gardenia mix is nice 'neat' - I may try making the Dons gardenia mix again, even if its a food / cake recipe.

No 2, Port Light.
I've made this a few time now & moved 'up' the bourbon scale to better stuff (Woodford Reserve) - better than my previous efforts but still not good... really, who likes this drink?!

No 3, Test Pilot.
Ive made this about a dozen times now, with various ingredients & variable results... tonight's is no exception! My comment on the Tiki+ app remains 'ok, not great - doesnt come together easy'.

On the other hand, my persistent experiments with my new blender during Dry January meant that the drinks were good consistency every time so :)

Also, I packaged some mugs to send to a fellow TCer in NY & will be posting some mugs for sale / trade in the marketplace soon! :)
