So if he wants to share a recipe with anyone not in the US, they'll have the same problem you're having right now. Standard is a stupid system anyway :)Rhetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694241067128044539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721554130531833718.post-40094087263727462522012-03-15T00:01:29.517-07:002012-03-15T00:01:29.517-07:001) I don't know!

All these crazy non-American bartenders keep using those measurements =P<br />1oz is about 30mL, so the above recipe basically translates to <br />2/3oz Cognac<br />1/2oz Maraschino <br />1oz lemon<br />1/3oz orgeat<br /><br />I actually ended up getting a very small mL measuring cup just so I can get all these recipes going at home.<br /><br />2) Have to give that a try too. Check out the Seelbach cocktail if you haven't, <br />1oz Bourbon<br />1/2oz Cointreau<br />7 dashes Angostura<br />7 dashes Peychaud's<br />top with Brut Champagne (5oz is the official)<br />garnish with a lemon or orange twist (I've seen both used)<br /><br />3) Agreed. Both the Fernet recipes from The Diamond and The Keefer from last month use a large amount of Fernet and completely balance it with orgeat, a la Trinidad Sour.Rhetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694241067128044539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721554130531833718.post-6443491205952707712012-03-14T20:24:15.484-07:002012-03-14T20:24:15.484-07:00Three observations.

Where are my good ol' fashioned oh-zee's?<br /><br />2) I subbed bourbon for cognac and it's still delicious.<br /><br />3) Orgeat seems to have an incredible capacity to balance enormous amounts of bitters.
