I wanted to get this solved once and for all, especially because I don't have an ice scoop.

(I've used an AI to generate this, it would be great if someone could run a little experiment to confirm if this is accurate!)

## Crushed Ice in a 7 oz Scoop

A standard 7 oz cocktail scoop holds approximately 200-250 grams of loosely packed crushed ice[1][2].

When filled, a 7 oz scoop contains around 1 cup of crushed ice. The exact weight can vary depending on how tightly the ice is packed in the scoop[3].

As a general guideline:

- 1 cup of loosely packed crushed ice weighs around 113-142 grams (4-5 oz)[1]
- 1 cup of more densely packed crushed ice weighs around 170 grams (6 oz)[2]

So in summary, a full 7 oz cocktail scoop will hold 200-250 grams of crushed ice, with the exact amount depending on how much the ice is compressed when scooping.

Subbed 15ml of rum with 15ml of unaged rum agricole, and the Sugar syrup with 2:1 Demerara syrup.

Swizzled before adding the crushed ice, then stirred.

(P.s. the "add sugar step is missing in the original recipe", I added it with the rum.)
