When we were planning our initial 2013 Cocktail Advent Calendar (we're now in year three, with a 2014 version and a 2015 version), we came up with a few rules or ideals that we would try to stick to:
- no food colouring
- if we can make it easily (like vanilla vodka) we should try to make our own; however, no one is going to go crazy if we need to use a commercial product (like lemon drop schnaps)
- we believe that all our recipes are original, but we would often use other cocktails as a starting point to riff on (like jazz) - we'll acknowledge those starting points in the notes
For all the recipes, we used an ounce measure OR we use the relative "part" measure. That's important primarily because you'll then know the relative amount of non-booze ingredients (bitters, syrups, etc) to the booze measurements we used. However, you should be able to scale up and/or modify the recipes to suit your needs and/or measuring device.
