It is crucial to be able to speak the language of bartenders in order for them to be successful. Bartenders use slang that is both funny and clever. Other terms are more serious. Bartenders can be helped to understand the customer's needs by using the correct language.
Bartender slang uses the word "shot" to describe small-sized drinks. These "shots" are served with no food. These "shots" are typically made from hard liquors such bourbon and vodka. As part of a drinking game, some "shots" may be used. The drink is typically a way to get drunk quickly. These drinks are typically served during a special occasion.
A "chaser" is a drink that is consumed after the shot is consumed. The term "chaser" originally meant to have a small amount of alcohol to reduce the aftertaste. It can also be used to refer to a small amount.
In the 1800s, the term "taking a shot" was used to refer to taking a risk. In the mid-19th Century, "shots" was served in glasses and cups in taverns as well as coffeehouses. "Shots" today are often served in games.
"Buy Back" is a drink that is complimentary to a patron. Regular customers will often send their drink to a bar. There, the bartender will make the drink and return it to them. This can be a good thing, since the bartender can make the drink without having to spend any money.
"Sour beer" is a term that has a wide range of meanings. It can be beer that has a strong sour taste, such as gueuzes. It can also mean beer that is unfiltered, like Berliner weisses and American wild ales. It can also mean beer that is aged, like lambics. These terms are very popular with beer geeks.
Speed rail liquors can be found easily because they are placed in a certain order on the shelf. These liquors are generally not high-end, but are still very alcoholic. Bourbon, vodka and rum are the most common liquors found on speed rail. These drinks may not be top shelf but they are the most popular liquors.
A cocktail recipe is called a "spec". It could be a specific recipe or a description of the ingredients. You can also use it to describe how many ingredients are in a cocktail.
A "drain pour", is a drink which is poured directly from the bottle. A drink that is "neat", would be served straight out of the bottle in a glass. Dry drinks are those that have very little vermouth.
Bartenders use "Last call" lingo to describe drinks made directly from the bottles. A drink that is served "neat" would be served at room temperature without ice. A drink without ice is known as a "drink".
A "behindstick", which is the name of the bartender that is behind the counter, can be used to describe him. It could have evolved from wooden handles that were found on beer taps. However, it is not a universally used word in bars.
