Some modern interpretations call for orange curaçao in place of triple sec. I stirred both versions alongside each other to sample what each liqueur brings...

Just a basic logistics question: how do you approach "dashes" from bottles of which you don't usually use such a small amount? Keep an empty dasher bottle handy for the liqueur du jour? Use a dropper and scale based on the "12 drops per dash"? Actually attach a dasher cap to the bottle in question?

Thumb over the bottle neck: invert: squirt to taste. It's cocktails, not A level chemistry.

I usually use a dropper. I squeeze to take in, and then give a good hard squeeze out, instead of a drop. Feels more akin to a dash of Angostura, rather than a Japanese bottle. Perhaps half bar spoon or whatnot. But do as you please :)

Absent a more streamlined solution, I'd decant into a small bottle and use either a dasher or dropper. The cap thread will be too small to attach to a regular bottle. I personally feel weird reincorporating into the parent bottle, so I'd just pour whatever was left post-dash straight into my next Mai Tai or whatever.
