In this case 11.5 ounces. So that's all I had available for the "Secret Mix" - and it worked just splendidly! I made a total of six drinks. Three using Coruba; three using Wray & Nephew Overproof. Actually, we all liked both drinks - the ones with Coruba for their smooth mellowness and rummy depth; and the ones with Wray and Nephew for the 'cutting edge warmth' and complex avenue it took the drink along. Two very different drink profiles by simply changing a single rum. I'm tempted to make up some more of the mix just to try it with different rum combinations like Zaya and El Dorodo 12 YO; Kohala Bay & Lemon Hard 151 . . I'm just sayin', Totally worth it!
