Now that sounds li8ke something worth trying, at least once, before you die!...How much is a jigger though ;-) Wouldn't want too big a jigger or two, would we :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Joel. A jigger is roughly your standard shot, about one & a half ounces, but some say it varies from 1-2 ounces. If you have one of those double shot measures, a jigger is said also to be either end.
ReplyDeleteJust to make sure perhaps you should add one from each end!
Regards.
LOL.. Sounds like a fine rule of thumbs to me!!
ReplyDeleteHello Keith,
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with Woodman, that certainly does sound like something mighty fine to try.

I think you are right John, I just need to get some brandy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, I actually saw your post asking what a flip-can was (I believe it was you). This led to all kinds of searching and figuring out how to make flip and saw images of flip-cans. Then In search results I saw a link to what you posted here. Very informative, thank you.
