It's a good idea, and a natural one.

That Porn Star Martini does not look like a Porn Star Martini. Would love to know more, passionfruit is my passion

I could not agree more! Just visited a few weeks back and was SO happy to see the crown has been restored. Cannot wait to host an event there someday. Also two thumbs way up for the Tulip Martini - the glass alone was an experience!

I love these images! I am so glad to hear of the cocktail culture continuing in what was once called the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, now named The Beacon Grand. What a history! During Prohibition "servidors," were used to discreetly transport booze to eager guests in the hotel that had everything!

I have vintage postcards of the iconic Starlite Room! There's a featured cocktail from the place printed in Ted Saucer's Bottoms Up. We captured a slice of the hotel's history in our book, Cocktails Across America.

Your typical like of dry ice deal, poured into the bowl of the drink.

Was wondering if it was smoke or CO2 from dry ice.

I hate using dry ice in anything potable. Love the look but it terrifies me.
