Here is another classic Carthay Circle favorite I found on the ohmy.disney.com blog. The Double Pear Martini is a very light and sweet pear cocktail that if you haven't tried you need to. This is the perfect cocktail on a hot day while relaxing in the cool dark Carthay Circle Lounge.
The Double Pear Martini:
- 1 ounce Double Cross vodka
- 1 ounce Absolut Pears vodka
- 1 ounce Kern’s Pear Nectar
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/4 ounce Monin agave nectar
- Garnish: 1 Chilean baby Pear
Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a Chilean baby Pear.
Since the parks have been closed Disneyland has been publishing some of their delicious and popular recipes online. I stumbled across their Manhattan recipe from Carthay Circle in DCA and it is one of the best I have had. So I wanted to share. Enjoy!
The Carthay Manhattan:
- 2 Oz Rye Whiskey (If you don’t have Rye Whiskey, you can use Bourbon or blended Whiskey)
- 1/2 Oz Sweet Vermouth
- 3 dashes of bitters
- Garnish (A cherry, usually)
Stir it with some ice and then strain it into a lowball glass.
So I have had Mai Tai’s at quite a few bars, tiki or otherwise, and the Mai Tai has never been my go-to drink. Until now, hands down the best Mai Tai I have had has been at Disney's club 1901. By no means is this recipe as good as the original, but I wanted to share my riff on the club 1901 Mai Tai.

With the COVID-19 Pandemic upon us many IT workers are under the gun to insure they can support a quarantined work force. I put this Calculator together to offer some insight into what your network can support based on the bandwidth capacity of your ISP and Internal networking equipment. This is very network focused and does not take any compute into the calculation.
Here is a link to the calculator I created above: https://bit.ly/39R34am I hope this makes it a little easier to reassure your management and help plan for capacity during these stressful times.
The formula I found was from the VMWare website. On their site they break down how they came up with the throughput requirements and the formula used to calculate users. Link to their website: https://bit.ly/38QKhea
