Conga Pete - I have followed this suggestion for how to make Pearl Diver mix & it worked better than my earlier attempts - I've tried out a couple of versions of the Pearl Diver now, I'm not a fan of either (too soft). I tried the Skin Diver last night, likewise a soft drink, the bitters adding a little spice.

But I've got to get me some of those glasses!

Tonight I had a Pearl Diver (to see if my mind had changed), Mrs AdOrAdam had a Hawaii Kai Treasure:

I also made a Atomic Grog's Mutiny with Kohola Bay - I'd made it before with the S&C / El Dorado 12 sub but hadn't been a fan, it's better with Kohola Bay.

For the last few weeks I have been drinking Boulvardiers like they've been going out of style (1.5 bourbon / 0.75 vermouth / 0.5 Campari / plenty of orange bitters, over ice) - a great drink if you like whiskey & Campari.

Otherwise I've been experimenting with my own tiki drink recipes - it's easy to knock together something 'ok' but harder to make something 'great'!

The latest effort:

Kkocka - I likewise got some bar mats a while ago, a good purchase that avoids condensation drips :)
