How do I make a drink that uses “parts” instead of acutal measurements?
Don’t let the number of parts confuse you. It’s just a math problem. Let’s say you want to make the following recipe: 3 parts sweet and sour mix 1 part tequila 1 part cointreau For every 3 measures of sweet and sour, use 1 measure of tequila and 1 measure of cointreau. For example, if you are using 3 ounces (3 parts) of sweet and sour, you’d use 1 ounce (1 part) of tequila and 1 ounce (1 part) of cointreau. If you are using 6 ounces of sweet and sour, you’d use 2 ounces of tequila and 2 ounces of cointreau. Or let’s say you have 3 cups of sweet and sour. You’d use 1 cup of tequila and 1 cup of cointreau. This is a really flexible way of making drinks because you can make any amount you want.
