Notes
*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons.
*Substitute 2 tablespoons aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas) for a vegan variation.
Sweet variation: Use 1 ounce simple syrup. I like drinks on the tart side, so I typically use 3/4 ounce simple syrup.
Lemon-lime variation: Substitute half of the lemon juice with lime juice for a lemon-lime flavor, which pairs well with vodka. You can also use lime juice in place of lemon, though it has a stronger flavor. (Start with 3/4 oz lime.)
