Josh, thanks so much for that. Didn't realise the weights given were cumulative. Still don't understand how 140ml water can be anything other than 140g! But you're quite right that no one would be able to tell the difference in taste. I just like accuracy 🙃

Sorry to be pedantic Simon, but if you fine strain it, surely all the gold leaf just ends up in the sieve instead of in the drink...

Hi Simon, I do realise that needs to be factored in, but, unless there's some glitch, the recipe I'm seeing says:

438 ml London dry gin [391g]
87.5 ml Dry vermouth [475g]
140 ml Chilled water [608g]
So it's the vermouth and water weights that seem wrong. The water, for instance, surely weighs exactly 140g...?

Please do explain if I'm missing something here as I'm genuinely puzzled. x

I think you need to recheck the weights given as they don't make sense
