Comments

Curated this slightly. Added the sparkling water called for in the instructions, and estimated an amount (assuming a 10 oz Collins glass).

Yeah, that would make things easier, but I think the reasoning is that people's glasses are different. Using 4 oz to top a 10 oz Collins is one thing. Making it in a pint glass and topping this with 10 oz of soda is going to be a different drink.

Thanks,

Zach
