A few helpful answers

How should I serve ghost shot?

Serve it immediately in a chilled glass with fresh ice where specified. That preserves the intended temperature, texture, and dilution.

Can I make ghost shot ahead?

Prepare the non-carbonated mixture ahead and refrigerate it. Add ice, soda, and garnishes immediately before serving.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes. Double each ingredient evenly; use a larger pan, bowl, or pitcher as needed.
