FAQ
What types of glasses should i buy?
Glasses should hold no more than 4oz (118ml). Glasses larger than this tend to get very hot and could cause burns.
What should I do if my cocktail drink gets too warm?
You don't want your drinks to get too hot out of the freezer so make sure they are in the fridge for at least 5 minutes before you serve them. This way, they won't have time to heat up as much.
What drinks should beginners order at a bar?
The best way to start drinking is by ordering a beer. Ask the bartender to help you choose the right beer for you.
If you want to drink wine, go for a dry white wine. A light-bodied Pinot Noir and Merlot are good choices if you prefer red wines. Cocktails can be made with martinis or margaritas.
Remember, if you don't know what to order, just say, "I'm starting off small," and the bartender should be happy to help.
What happens to a drink if it contains too many ingredients?
The flavors will be diminished if you add too many ingredients. This can lead to some of the original flavors being lost.
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. The proof is the measure of alcohol in a beverage. One proof equals 1 part alcohol to 100 percent pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle wine would have ten proofs, while a 16-ounce bottle would be 16. beer would be 13 proofs, and a 40 oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.
What does it mean to say, "I'm having too much fun?"
It means that person has had too much to drink.
