Is the 1/12 (one twelfth) of a fluid ounce measure of grenadine correct? (I did check that the metric is a scant 2.5mL as well). Does that basically mean a barspoon? I don't think I've commonly seen such a small measurement for grenadine. Is this a typo for 1/2 (one half) fluid ounce?

For comparison, most other recipes (including Punch Drink, Jim Meehan in the New York Times, and the Raffles Hotel variant included on this site) specify 1/4 fluid ounce of grenadine.

Get the Easy Jigger from Simon. Solution, period.

I used Hendrick's only because the bottle was getting low; The chocolate citrus combo with gin is not something I would have thought of on my own, ever. This is a fantastic drink.

Made with Sazerac Rye and PM Spirits' L'Encantada Armagnac; Tattoo Series #2. Also used Tempus Fugit's Crème de Banane. Six pumps of an Absinthe atomizer, as well. Brilliant. Really solid, boozy cocktail.

The named whiskey I did not have so I used Yellowstone's 93 proof straight bourbon and added 3 dashes of El Guapo's Fuego bitters. Used 1oz each of Bourbon, Montenegro, and Aperol; 1/2oz on the lemon. Fantastic. I would have never thought to pair these ingredients. Kudos to Simon.
