Very true. Canada is weird about measurements. Some things are always measured in metric, some things are always in imperial. Some things either/or. Lol. I had no idea a tablespoon was 20ml in some places! Thanks for the info. 😊

Looking at the recipe, it sounds great, but it misses the mark for me. My first thought—immediately—was that this would be better with tequila resposado; the gin is lost in it. It’s very sweet forward, and I don’t like how the triple sec and St. Germaine blend. I think it would better with (either) one on its own. The lemon comes through after, but not enough. The absinthe is completely lost in it, and absinthe is not an easy flavour to lose. I’ll give it 3 stars, but I won’t make it again.

I just use measuring spoons. This is all you need to know and you can convert any fraction of an ounce:
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
So 1/6 of an ounce is 1 teaspoon.

I gave it three stars; it was just meh. However, I should note that I made this cocktail right after trying the Monterita which is very similar (except for amaro) so I couldn’t help but compare the two and this one was flat and boring compared to the Monterita. The Monterita is very flavorful, so it was a Tough act to follow.
