Is 6 cl of saline solution really the right amount? Shouldn't it read 6 drops or something? Just asking :)

Thanks very much for spotting our error! It should be 2 drops and the recipe has now been corrected.

A very nice drink to make with my recently acquired bottle of Lucano. This might also work well with Braulio. Everything is very harmonious! My only quibble is that the coconut water thins out the drink and my tastes run toward the boozier end of things.

I wonder if I could get away with cutting it to 2/3 oz? Maybe boiling down the coconut water?
