The author should probably change this to "own creation" rather than "unknown authenticity" unless this is not their own. Adding the year it was first made would be good, as well as anything they are willing to provide about location or region where they made it. Location/name or initials are not required, and keeping a certain degree of anonymity on the net is understandable, but providing a few bits helps if people want to use the cocktail and give credit/attribution later.

  • I subbed 3/4 gins .. used Ford's Navy Strength, Ransom Old Tom, and Tanq 10 instead of Millers. It was delicious, tiki gin cocktails always surprising and wonderful. Nice balance, high volume.
