EVOO has a low smoke point. Better to use corn or canola in this matter.

Did you mean 40%? You could be right about the oil. But olive is what we have on hand and it seems to do the trick.

It will water itself down when the ice melts. What I'm doing is "pre-staging" the drink. Kind of like reaching out and gently pushing the ride cymbal with your hand, to get encourage a gentle vibrating motion before you actually strike it. This prevents the first note from being harsh, if you catch my drift. Gets you right into the cushy part of the groove.
