That way you are not stuck with a fifth of something you dont like. 2 - When you mix a recipe for the first time, follow the recipe as exactly as you can. After you have had one, then start adjusting the recipe to your tastes (more lime, less lemon, etc....) 3 - Well, I dont really have a third suggestion other than to say "Drink what you like, and like what you drink." Its your cocktail at your bar, enjoy it.
