Let me check with The Mai-Kai. It's possible they still have an original recipe on file that mentions the garnish. As we know, many of these were direct copies of Don the Beachcomber drinks.

Pearl Diver = Deep Sea Diver

Of course, it's likely that other restaurants did their own versions with different garnish.

CongoPete: I'd love to see a photo of the drink in the new glass. I can't wait to get mine at The Hukilau. Tiare has a nice one up on her blog:
