BARTENDER’S NOTES & SWAPS

A little help from the OPC bar.

Optional pointers for making it your own while keeping the spirit of the recipe.

Tips for a better mix

  • Measure the citrus and syrup rather than pouring by eye; taste and adjust before serving.
  • Use chilled ingredients and fresh ice to keep dilution under control.
  • For honey syrup, stir equal volumes of honey and warm water until dissolved, then cool before use.

Make it your own

  • For a brighter finish, add a little more fresh citrus, tasting in small increments.
  • For a lighter serve, pour into a taller glass over ice and add a small splash of soda water.
