Quick question regarding ice measurement. Is 6 ounces by volume or weight? We have tried a few blended cocktails and found that they were to watery or not cold enough. We are using a Lewis Bag to crush. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Great site BTW!

Awesome job Simon and Crew. Prior to the pandemic we could create very few cocktails. Your site has enabled us to enjoy the cocktail of the day, almost daily "Doctor does not like it " Humbug! Outside the box, if St.Nick passed this day, it would be 420 year's ago! We do not consume the products related, but it came to mind ?. Costing us a few dollars to enjoy your daily gift, although, very much worth it. Stay safe and well to all. ??

On the verge of a second lock down and not one's for shots, we amped up and topped up with 5ml of mezcal for the actual smokiness. Thanks to the prior post.
Thank you all! Stay well.

Last 2 ingredients are reversed for the directions. All good. Will try this as soon as our Liquor Stores in Ontario start stocking several items that you request.
Thus, you and the crew are awesome. We became familiar with your informative site, in the beginning of the pandemic. Prior too, we had a vast supply of wine and beer, and a minimal supply of spirts /liqueus. Now, 50 + bottles. We have also made a different cocktail every day since the beginning of the pandemic. Now to rate them all!

Hat's off to Mr. Difford and your team.
Our first post since the PANDEMIC.
We had a total of 10 spirits, liqueurs and bitters prior to this grave situation.
Today we masked up and went to our LCBO in Ontario, Canada and purchased another new bottle...Apricot Brandy.
We made this cocktail and were shocked to hear that a city in Canada, named Paradise was engulfed with fire.
All said, was a good cocktail. Added the lemon for balance. Will have to try without.
Thank you and stay safe.
