Hey guys thought i'd speak up.

i've been using the same round about spec's for near 10 year.
Based on Vic's but patched up by Dale DeGroff then fiddled with by me.

50mls Appleton Extra (kind of close to 17-year old J. Wray & Nephew)
20mls Cointreau (dry enough)
15mls Orgeat
5mls Gomme
25mls Lime juice
2 Dashes of Ang. Bitters
Shake Strain. Double Old Fas. Ice Cap. Mint Sprig.
Make sure to swing all numbers up or down to taste or customer.
try not to swing more than 3 and no more than 5mls.

Also I do have to say that you really do need fresh lime.
Best way is a swing hand juicer. I know that i'm preaching to the choir on this one.
For anyone that doesn't have one. Here's where i get mine.
