Problema Solution
You have just been promoted to bar manager at the Green Cormorant bistro. The owner
of the restaurant has asked you to train new bar staff to make the bistro’s signature drink, a Blue Thai.
The recipe for the drink is:
¼ oz Blue Curacao
1.5 ounces white rum
¾ oz coco-mint syrup
¾ oz fresh lime juice
1 ounce chilled soda water
You realize that it would be easier to teach the staff this recipe if it was in the form of a ratio. Please:
a. Convert this drink recipe to a ratio
Answer provided by our tutors
the total amount of the drink is:
1/4 + 1.5 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 1 = 1/4 + 3/2 + 6/4 + 4/4 = 1/4 + 6/4 + 6/4 + 4/4 = 17/4 oz
the ratios total amount:ingredient are:
17/4 : 1/4 = (17/4)*4 = 17
17/4 : 1.5 = 17/4 : 3/2 = (17/4)*(2/3) = 17/6
17/4 : 3/4 = (17/4)*(4/3) = 17/3
17/4 : 1 = 17/4
if we take 17/4 oz as unit for measuring the drink recipe into a ratio will be:
1 Blue Curacao
1/6 white rum
1/3 coco-mint syrup
1/3 fresh lime juice
1/4 chilled soda water
