1⁄2 oz Jamaican rum
1 bsp Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1 oz Orange juice
3⁄4 oz Lime juice

Instructions

Notes

The combination of butter, honey, pimento dram, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon syrup is known as Don's Gardenia Mix or Pearl Diver mix. It is best batched as follows: 1 oz butter 1 oz honey 1 t cinnamon syrup and 1/2 t each of allspice and vanilla. (Note that Punch recommends a slightly but negligibly different recipe.) Combine and cream in a sauce pan.

History

Variation on Don the Beachcomber's Pearl Diver created to give life to the fictional Polynesian Pearl Diver from the film Django Unchained.

Comments

Is it intentional that the mix listed in the ingredients has equal amounts of butter/honey/vanilla/allspice/cinnamon but the mix in the notes has very different proportions?
