I was abit naughty today at lunch time and had two cocktails, small glasses though so not too bad

First one - does anyone no the syn value for a Margarita? All I no is it has 2shots of vodka in,

Then the second one was made of 1shot of vodka, 1shot of peach snaps and half a bottle of j20. What would be the syn value of is?

Thank you!

The second one would be 4.5 for the schnappes, 4 for the vodka, and just over 2 for the j20 (it's 4.5 per bottle). So that would be about 11 syns. As for the margharita, 8 syns for the vodka, but I don't know what else was in it? (I wouldn't put vodka in a margharita, just tequila, triple sec and lime!)

It had vodka in it definitely as I asked the bar tender, he did agree though that if wasn't the traditional ingredient , so about 11syns in total? X

A vodka margarita just replaces the tequila with vodka. So I think 11 syns for that as well is about right.

Thank you.

Surprising I managed not to go over my allowed syns that day, even with 11 wasted on cocktails!

If you google "how many syns in...." you can usually find the answers (usually from this site!)

If you scroll down in the second one it tells you the sherry is 1 syn per tbsp

Didn't you have two cocktails though? So 22 in total?

Oyster sauce is 1syn per tablespoon - I use it a lot in stir try's and 1tbsp goes a long way!
