After much experimentation, I believe Ramos had it right from the beginning.
His ingredients/proportions work perfectly provided you serve in a 9oz highball glass which leaves plenty reserve with which to "raise the head" after a rest without diluting with soda.
Keys:
- Air tight shaker (critical - I use a Contigo).
- "Jigger" meant 2oz in Ramos' day.
- And "powdered sugar" meant "fine sugar" (no cornstarch).
