Notes
NOTE: Most cocktail recipe ingredients are given in ounces. 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons.
NOTE: To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Over medium~high heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat and allow the simple syrup to cool completely. Pour into a plastic squeeze bottle. Keep in refrigerator. Will last weeks.
