Atomic After Dark: reposado, apricot, amontillado and smoked salt
Six seconds of shake, not twelve. Two drops of smoked salt at the glass. Lemon stays out of the bottle. Dark chocolate with chile, or salted pepitas and dried apricots.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
Spirits and bitters one day. Lemon and smoked salt at the glass.
- Reposado tequila9 oz
- Amontillado sherry3 oz
- Apricot liqueur3 oz
- Fresh lemon juice1.5 oz
- Dried apricot6 ea
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
Quick, short on ingredients, no oven. Keep it in reserve.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
