The Test Pilot is not as bitter as many of the drinks I have tried. One "trick" for making the Test Pilot is to double the recipe. I almost always do anyway to sample with the wahine. But, if you make two or four of any recipe, A) the accuracy you need to make it really work, goes more and more in your favor, and B) the measurements are a lot easier to get right. Easier to do an ounce than a half or an ouce rather than a 1/4 ounce, etc. Especially with a drink like the T.P. that requires a tiny amount of a very strong ingredient. So, as Chip says, use the regualr Persian limes, and double the recipe or, if you have guests, quadruple it. Or if you have Andy or Pablus over, quadruple it... Life will be better and easier that way.
