I was driving home from a trip to Phoenix last weekend and hit some major traffic 'round about Indio. It was around lunchtime so me and my gal decided to pit stop in Palm Springs and so we popped in to the Tonga Hut. It was early so the place was pretty quiet and we struck up a bit of a convo with the bartender. He was a total sweetheart and indulged me in discussing all sorts of cocktail geekery. Turns out that we both make our own falernum and so we swapped ideas and stories about that and I asked if the Tonga Hut makes their own and he said that indeed they did, I went on to ask if they also make their own pimento dram and he said "No, we use the Hamilton."

"The what-now?" I asked.

I'm so glad you found it and were able to grab a bottle. It was a pleasure to have you stop in! I always enjoy chatting about cocktails. Next time you're in Palm Springs, I hope you'll be in to visit again!!
