And that's precisely what Rose's put on their bottle.

Did you read what I wrote? Rose's is a recommding a much smaller
proportion of their product to the liquor than the previous poster's 1:1
ration.

Realistically, for a manufacturer of an ingredient used in lesser
proportion, I wouldn't be surprised by a recommendtion of a higher
proportion of their product as, apparently, you think I stated.

I can't imagine drinking a Gimlet made with a 1:1 ration. GAG It would be
incredibly sweeter and probably more tart than I could drink.
