Very sorry for any misunderstanding! You are correct about the amount of vodka in the pre-batch base but to this, you add the last two ingredients per cocktail serve and that includes an additional 50ml / 1&2/3oz vodka. Therefore 2+oz vodka per cocktail.

Well, sure, but it’s almost less than an ounce of vodka per serving. Possibly even less depending on what your serving size guidance is. I guessed that a serving is 4 oz and it’s about 0.4 - 0.5 of vodka for each portion which barely qualifies as a cocktail. I was just curious what the rationale was for such little alcohol content. Perhaps a typo in the recipe? Or maybe there are some general guiding principles about alcohol proportions in punches that I am not educated about. I use your site to educate myself about the craft of making cocktails because you offer such a wealth of useful information and delicious recipes. I defer to your expertise, but I am just asking as a “student” of yours not as a snide commenter.

Hopefully, you'll find the recipe boozy enough - balanced. Other wise add more vodka. Vodka Martinis are much quicker and easier to make!
