I love the old film noir movies from the 40s and 50s. I watched one a little while back called The Blue Gardenia. The plot is your usual film noir fare, but what stood out to me in this one (what you could say as a plot device) was 2 of the characters drink a tiki cocktail called a Polynesian Pearl Diver. What's a Polynesian Pearl Diver? I had to have one! After doing some research I discovered it's one of the more obscure Don Beach cocktails. I also discovered how complicated it can be to make. It contains Don's Gardenia Mix. How fitting. To make the Gardenia Mix I need Pimento (allspice) Liqueur. I can't get that where I live so I'll have to make some from scratch. You can see how out of control this is going to get. So bear with me. This cocktail is going to take a few episodes to complete. But in the end, it will be worth it!

Cheers
