7. MINDSET

8. BIG KITTY COCKTAIL MINDSET IS…
➤ always start new
➤ base spirits by the 1oz
➤ sours or mixers minus the sugar by the .5 to 1 oz
➤ sugar (syrups) by the .25 oz
➤ everything else is a celebration of .25 or 4ths
➤ never be afraid to pour a bottle or a drink down the drain
➤ taste, document, consume, make again, re-taste
➤ naming, pictures, and note as much weirdness at that moment
➤ bonus techniques: spirit washed cubes, jugology
