The Golden Dream is a sweet after dinner drink created in Miami by Raimundo Alvarez sometime in the 1960s. There is not much more known about this drink, other than it was dedicated to the actress Joan Crawford.

I find that half-&-half works just as well as heavy cream for this cocktail.

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
