We had an interesting PREP! because our camera man had taken the night off so once again the video is not as clear and the sound is also a little soft. But we managed to demonstrate two great cocktails and learned a lot about creating our own liqueurs.

2 oz. Shochu
1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 oz. Dry Guava Cordial
1/2 oz. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
small pinch of Kona coffee grounds
Fratello Americano
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. Luxardo Abano Amaro
1 oz. Grapefruit juice
4 oz. club soda

Unfortunately, Vernon, could not make it to PREP!, so we improvised. At SWAM, customers frequently ask if they can carry alcohol on the plane with them when travelling. Yes, you are permitted to carry a total of 3 oz. of liquid or gel in a 1 quart bag. The volume in a miniature liquor bottle is 50 ml or 1.69 oz. which totals to 2 minis (100 ml) allowed in your 1 quart bag. Here’s one example of a cocktail that is easy to prepare and having two versatile liqueurs will create different cocktails later. Travelling is stressful and tiresome, a simple cocktail makes the journey a lot more fun.
