FAQ
What drinks are recommended for beginners at bars?
The best way to start drinking is by ordering a beer. Ask the bartender for their recommendations if you aren't sure what beer to choose.
Wine is best enjoyed as a dry white wine. You might prefer reds so you should try light-bodied Merlot or Pinot Noir. For cocktails, choose a martini or margarita.
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's the most delicious cocktail?
The best cocktails are made from fresh ingredients. They should have a unique taste profile and be well balanced.
The most important thing when mixing drinks is to use quality spirits. You might as well use water if you're using low-quality vodka.
How do you know if a cocktail is strong?
Drinks with more alcohol are stronger than those with less. Proof is a measure of how much alcohol is in a drink. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle wine would have ten proofs, while a 16-ounce bottle would be 16. beer would have 13 proofs while a 40-ounce bottle would have 38. 45 proofs would be the bottle of Scotch.
What is a shaker, you ask?
A shaker allows you to combine multiple ingredients. You can strain the mixture using the strainer included with the shaker. It also has a lid to stop unwanted smells escaping as it shakes.
What should I do when my cocktail drinks get too hot?
To avoid your drinks getting too hot, place them in the refrigerator for 5 minutes before consuming. You won't be able to heat them up as fast.
