Water for the batch

This starting amount replaces ice melt during mixing. Test one serving and adjust before making the whole batch. It is not a measured result.

108 ml added water for 6 servings.

Make one serving using the original method. Weigh the liquid before ice, then strain completely and weigh again. The gain in grams is approximately the added water in ml. Liquid left on the ice makes this an underestimate. Taste the chilled sample, repeat if needed, and enter the water amount above.

Prepare and serve

1. Measure the base ingredients into a clean, covered container and stir to combine. Keep the quantities in the serving section separate.
2. Stir 108 ml chilled water into the base. This is in addition to any water already specified in the recipe.
3. Prepare for today’s service. Label and refrigerate the covered base; follow ingredient storage labels. Keep ice out of the container and chill the glasses before serving.
4. Pour 108 ml of the chilled, diluted batch over fresh ice per glass. Add garnish at service. Do not repeat the original full stir or shake, which would add more water.

The list saves ingredient names, not party quantities. Check the totals above against how much you have. Garnishes and ice are not added.
