Note 1: These are not the exact metric conversions. I've rounded the metric measures to reflect the standard measure or working equivalent.
Note 2: Don't get too hung up on exact measurements in your home bartending recipes -- a drop or a dash or so more than the recipe calls for probably isn't going to kill the drink.
Note 3: Speaking of Dashes; they're about 1/8 th of a teaspoon.
