Please click "Read about cocktail measures and measuring" under each of our cocktail recipes for an explanation of conversion between shots, oz and ml. No mess here!

Dear Simon,
Today, my copy of the "cocktails #7" arrived. It sure is a bible! Some comments: the writing is quite small so reading in subdued light condition is impossible. I am saddened that you use "shots" for the measurements. I do understand that you are living in the USA so oz etc can not be avoided. I like to call these non-metric measurements Yesteryear Measurements. Would be nice to have the US adapt to the rest of the world and not, as usual, expect the contrary. Well, you and I cant change that.
With a marker I added 'shot' to 25ml on your measuring cup. Best regards from Tokyo, Andre

Indeed, very clear and easy to understand. Thanks a lot for your great replies and support.
Just one note: most cocktails are very exotic needing all kinds of ingredients. The basics I have but not much more
which means either searching for some of the required ingredients or, looking for more simpler recipes. This is just a comment.

Will work on my first real cocktail. Nice experiment! Thanks again
