Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Tommy's margarita

    • Baxter850 on October 21, 2018

      Meehan’s specs call for agave syrup which is 1/2 water and 1/2 agave nectar. The extra water helps.

  • Grasshopper

    • Baxter850 on May 15, 2020

      Too sweet for me, although I subbed Brizard creme de cacao. Add 1/2 oz heavy cream (and maybe 1/4 tsp Fernet with a pinch of salt).
