New Look

Hello All
I just wanted to clarify somethings.  First off the drawings are accurate follow the steps as drawn and you will successfully make the drinks.  I have drawing them to take in account for the tappers of the glasses and the ice that is used so if you make your drinks look like the drawings you will have no trouble making the finished cocktail.
Second there is a new look to the overall drawings I wanted to freshening them up a bit.  Let me know what you think.
