I'm honestly tempted to try it in any cocktail that already has honey in it - because that's such a large part of the Gardenia Mix I wonder how well it would sub out
@@FlourEggsYeast look up Pearl Diver glasses on Google.. there’s an interesting history to them.. they were basically lost.. none remained, until just recently when Cocktail Kingdom dot com decided to use old references and redesign them
Loving this niche you're occupying ITD! Film AND cocktail info, super easy and engaging to watch! Literally watched Django the other day and caught the reference thinking... 'Isn't that a Tiki drink?'. The edit at 8:31 was a proper spittake moment hahaha
Thanks! It was actually quite hard to condense all of the connections people had made between the drink at the film, you'd be surprised how much people can talk about this stuff!
It makes me wonder if Django is set in the 'alternate history' of Tarantino's films, like where the Americans kill Hitler and the Manson murderers don't get Sharon Tate...
This is a Pearl Diver's Punch. The Pearl Diver is a streamlined version of the punch. I'm inclined to believe that the version in The Blue Gardenia was probably the Pearl Diver due to that version being the one on the menu in the 1950s. Interestingly enough, both movies discussed here got the Pearl Diver glass wrong. I'm not sure when the word "Polynesian" was first used.
Agreed with slightly lowering the music, but I like the music choices just need to find the right levels. Loving the How To Drink vibes but with movie references.
Great video. And the drink looks Fantastic. I do not want it to be misunderstood, but in my opinion, the music during the video is a bit too loud and slightly distracts when you are talking. This is once again just my opinion, but I think if you can slightly reduce the volume of the music while you are sharing those interesting facts about the drink. Cheers!
I made mine in a pan, by melting the butter and the rest of the ingredients together - although after sitting for a while it does want to separate, so what you see in the video was my best attempt to get it to re-settle before using it on camera!
@@InTheDrinkJoe ok thanks…definitely booze forward but a great cocktail. It’s gone to the top of my list. The mrs wasn’t a big fan of it. Think the butter pushed her away lol
LOVE THE PEARL DIVER! I got the fancy Pearl Diver glasses for Christmas! Haha... the Gardenia mix would make any cocktail tastes amazing!

I didn’t know there was a particular glassware for this drink. We need more cabinets

Nice improvisation on the Pearl Diver glass. Haha. Interesting tidbit on the whole Django/Polynesian Pearl Diver.

Haha I’m glad you mentioned the anachronism! It always bothered me in the film! Haha... didn’t know it was a reference to another film! Amazing!

Utterly fantastic is a great way to describe this Joe. I’d drink the whole thing. Kindly, Cam & Theresa
That means an incredible amount, thank you!
Well done video. Thanks for making it!
Awesome video bro. Loved how you talked about the history
That's great! The cocktail is really nice, but I don't rememeber that reference at all😱
It's a super throwaway line, but I figured there's just enough history and pre-existing speculation to squeeze a video out lol

Hilarious, elegant, informative, entertaining! Keep it up!

I'd suggest pouring the Gardenia first, so that the rest of the less viscous liquids could clear out your jigger.
Great video. And the drink looks Fantastic.

Thank you, that's very helpful to know! It's very hard to tell when you've spent ages on a video and you just have to sort of guess lol
How did you get your gardenia mix like that….looks like a type of syrup. Mine just separates and goes lumpy? Lol

@@InTheDrinkJoe ok thanks. Maybe that’s where I was going wrong 👍
@@InTheDrinkJoe so update I made a new batch with different butter which works a treat.
Only other question I have is how long does it last for?
@@chazatrueblue Nice one! Glad it worked for you! And I think it'll last you at least a week in the fridge

Looks heavenly….but where’s the pearl .. what can you use as an eatable pearl.
Could use anything…edible lustre would be a great way to add that effect to any spherical candy. You can even buy edible pearls
