Volumes have been increased from 2+ oz total (60 cL in the book) to 3+ oz. Proportions held constant, hence the 3/8 oz Fiero. Original volumes would be 1 1/3: 2/3: 1/4. Meier's fluid oz, dram, and teaspoon volume conversions differ from modern values, which is somewhat confusing, especially since there is a missing decimal in his teaspoon mL conversion, and it is a 50% oversized teaspoon anyway.
While there is no garnish in the book recipe, an optional orange twist is consistent with the historical M&R Aperitivo (Fiero) orange profile. I dropped mine into the drink to give it zing.
