Used this for a Bonfire Night party and it was very well received. Simon would probably not approve but I mixed the fruit garnish with the spirits in advance and it really added to the flavour. Then to serve I just topped up with the Ginger Ale and Cola.

A great drink, thanks Simon.

Sounds like a method I should adopt. Pleased to hear they went down well.

Agreed, the whisky versions of this excellent and versatile recipe - it just calls out for creative experimentation - really work superbly well.

Our transatlantic shipping is frustratingly presently many times the cost of an Easy Jigger but we hope to have US distribution. Perhaps also buy some for friends as same shipping cost for 1 or 10.

I didn't realize I commented anonymously and unsure if you will see this but thanks for the reply. I'm in the land of the freedom unit. Will check out the easy jigger. Thanks!
