This is all unencylopedic as hell, but the link provided goes into such vast detail as to the importance of soda water not being added, that I didn't want to link to the wikibooks recipe which suggested adding soda water. I suggest reading the linked article if you have any interest in this, it traces the drink back for centuries. --[[User:Xyzzyplugh|Xyzzyplugh]] 15:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC) |

[[WP:ENGVAR]] says that if an article starts out wiht US or UK terminology, it should not be changed , unless the subject has a clear tie to one country or the other (like the American Civil War or William Shakespeare, for example). This article started out with ounces, and it should remain thus. I have added the ml equivalents. Thesite used as a reference was [http://boozemonger.com/information/bar_measurements.html] for how many ml to a dash or a jigger.

Soda water!
This is all unencylopedic as hell, but the link provided goes into such vast detail as to the importance of soda water not being added, that I didn't want to link to the wikibooks recipe which suggested adding soda water.

WP:ENGVAR says that if an article starts out wiht US or UK terminology, it should not be changed , unless the subject has a clear tie to one country or the other (like the American Civil War or William Shakespeare, for example). This article started out with ounces, and it should remain thus. I have added the ml equivalents. Thesite used as a reference was [1] for how many ml to a dash or a jigger. Edison (talk) 01:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC) I tried to add a short note that Russian sugar cubes are a different size than American ones, and may use sugar from a different source, and it was rejected. I can't see why, unless it was because I put it under "Notes." I am new to contributing, so I may not know where to place something. Thanks. Max481WwRG (talk) 02:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- According to WP:ENGVAR, as you refer to, "Strong national ties to a topic" have to be considered. Since this drink was invented in the U.S., that resolves the issues as far as I'm concerned. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:52, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
