      Great video! You have great presence--must be kind of a hassle to make but keep them coming! 🙂 p.s. love that you added the simple sugar recipe in there.

      The printed recipe doesn't specify the amount of gin...

        Yikes, thank you for catching that! I have updated the recipe (1 1/2 oz of gin)

    16. freutcake says

      Sorry about that! It should have 1 1/2 ounces of gin.
