General Substitution Tips
- β Match the alcohol level: a 40% spirit needs a similarly strong replacement or adjust volume.
- β For liqueurs, dilute spirits + simple syrup can replicate sweetness and proof.
- β Citrus substitutions: lemon and lime are mostly interchangeable at a 1:1 ratio.
- β For bitters, Angostura is the most neutral substitute for most other aromatic bitters.
