And I have no problem shrinking superbig modern recipes down. Also, many old "dash of this 2 dashes of that" can be modernized by interpretation to actual measurements. <br /><br />While my interpretations aren't for everyone, it's better than these vague recipes in the old literature.<br /><br />I do miss the days when we made 2 oz cocktails (frequent in late 30s-early 40s books like Duffy and Vic) since we have plenty of cute vintage glassware for that volume! I guess that I could've made this one as a 3/4 jigger + dashes and ended up with a cocktail that would fit in a shot glass, but why go to all that effort for something so tiny?frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-44996807291345784712015-12-15T17:48:35.373-05:002015-12-15T17:48:35.373-05:00That's a generous three quarters of a jigger!That's a generous three quarters of a jigger!Dagrebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776169159854683528noreply@blogger.com
