I notice there are two entries in the recipe for Becherovka liqueur, 1 1/3 fl oz for the first and 2/3 fl oz for the second. I don't see any mention of why that is. Are we supposed to float the smaller portion on top or something?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The second mention should have said Becherovka Cordial. Now corrected.
