It was to promote the Commonwealth games. The cocktail would cost a bar a small fortune, not just ingredient wise, but also preparation. Gimmick? Sure, I would agree to that, but it had an objective that was to include a single ingredient from 71 countries. And with that objective it has held the record as the most complex cocktail.

One may be a cocktail enthusiast, but can almost guarantee you will never find this on a bar list.

I brought it up more for displaying the extremes than anything else.
Yeah, I read the story of its creation. Still silly.

One of my biggest(most expensive) mixing mistake was when I found a recipe that had either 10 or 12 flavors and I only had one or two and ordered everything else. Some were FLV flavors. I got all the flavors, mixed it, steeped, and didn't like it at all. I'm with you folks here. Seven is about the limit on flavors in a recipe.
Dripping, right? I remember that ordeal.

    Good morning random folks. Have you any plans? Been pretty quiet in here. Ya’ll gotta be busy with something. I have 4 bottles to clean today and I want to get my biip up and running with a new coil and some juice. I want something different. Maybe a boozy one.

    Good morning. With doing sft and 2ft recently, I've got another pile of 10ml bottles that need cleaned. Work started picking up again about a week ago and it feels good to have a solid backlog of work again. I like being busy at work. I don't want to look for stuff to do. That rarely happens but I like to see a 1-2 week backlog. It should make for a good commission the beginning of March.

    Glad your work is picking up. Nothing worse for a long day than boredom.

    I don't have any 10ml glass bottles but that's ok. I can still make a 10ml mix in a 15ml bottle if I choose to do so. I usually don't....LOL

    I had a feeling...my 8 gauge needles shipped from China. I think I'll definitely spray it down with Lysol and leave it in the basement for a while after I get it. :unsure: In double plastic bags. That virus is scary stuff. My common sense tells me I'll be fine...but my paranoid self doesn't. People are dropping like flies from it.

    I don't have any 10ml glass. All of my 10ml are plastic. I use them mostly for mixing sft and first time recipes. I rinse them out good and let them dry for reuse. I got tired of throwing away and buying hundreds of bottles.

    Yup,I have a bunch of plastic including 10ml. I use some once in awhile but I do prefer glass.

    This is the original recipe as found online.
    For me it was too much Kentucky bourbon, I lowered the bourbon to 1.2% and was more to my taste.
