Dear G,

thanks for the feedback...

1. My Bonzer Hawthorn can fit into a standard mixing glass if pressed but one 
has to compress the coil to do so and thus make the gap between lip and steel 
far smaller making it harder to pour neatly in a well-filled mixing glass... 
by using the julep strainer the gap becomes large again and thus easier... I 
don't know why you think I would I lie?

2. I do not know if the story has been substantiated but it has not been 
disproved and is a nice story... and all I said was he must have been an 
alcoholic hence adding more booze rather than not liking soda... I know the 
story helps 'sell' the drink and no-omne yet has busted me (for busted of 
courseead educated)

3. Its a Rubbermaid measuring cup... it measures Oz as well as Ml which is 
useful when I travel so much... by being see through it also helps...my kit 
bag is only so large after all... Barmetrix does not do bartending equipment 
tho we have proved that ProFlow pourers aid accurate pouring and thus reduce 
variance and their partioned 'bar-bell' measure is very cool too for aspiring 
mixologists.

cheers

aw
