I just found this site few days ago and I gotta tell ya, it's pretty damn informative and amazing. i got intersted in bartending when volunteering at a food bank, served drinks and enjoyed it alot. So I thought if i can get doing something similar and get PAID it'd be even more delightfully fun. So then I took a bartending course and learned some basic stuff. ... DaDaDave Wed, 14 May 2008 03:15:02 GMT Behind the Bar forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79555 Gin is definitely my liquor du juor, a few years back it would have been Bourbon. Though beer is still my favorite Alcohol by far, especially NW Micro's! Josh Wed, 14 May 2008 02:33:17 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79554 It's funny because here in Mexico, Tequila won't come with the built-in pourer, even the expensive stuff, but every bottle of Vodka, Rum, Gin, Whiskey, Scotch and even some of the thinner Liqueurs have it - and it's annoying as hell! Josh Wed, 14 May 2008 02:30:45 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79553 Vodka all the way. Gin Sucks. Kellykels Wed, 14 May 2008 00:59:36 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79552 Im just curious to see what everyones favorite type of liquor is. Most people i know like Vodka or Whiskey the most. But this should be interesting to see what the bartenders like most (they tend to know better!!) :) :) Well i guess i'll start. Favorite: ... bv2060 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:50:45 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79551 Lol, i found this story really funny because i had the exact same problem, except the other way around. I was in Mexico when i purchased a bottle of DJ that didnt come w/ the pourer on it. I was pretty upset (thinking the bottle had been tampered with) and demanded a new bottle. The clerk just looked at me crazy and refunded my money... this process repeated three times before I realized I wasn't in Florida anymore. ... bv2060 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:34:04 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79550 sounds pretty cool man.. thanks for sharing. I'm not much of a vodka drinker, but you've definitely convinced me to try a bottle when its released. bv2060 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:25:25 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79549 Alot of people do keep it in the freezer just because its convenient to be able to pour straight from bottle to glass w/ no chilling in between. Personally, I dont like doing that because you don't open up the bouquet in the liquor as you do when you stir or shake it. It also tends to lack the texture i like ... bv2060 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:20:27 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79548 Sampled some of their filtered varieties today... I'm not as impressed. They're good, clean vodkas, with a relatively low burn, but I just love the unfiltered version the best. As for my questions... it is made with 100% potatoes, it's going to cost around $40-$45 per liter. freelivin91 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:08:58 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79547 You cant ever go wrong with the ol' Singapore Sling. Unfortunately there are a ton of recipes so you're going to have to do some playing around before you find your favorite one. ( http://www.webtender.com/cgi-bin/search?verbose=on&name=Singapore+Sling+ ). ... bv2060 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:06:50 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79546 I've heard that you should keep your gin and vodka in the freezer if you plan on making martinis. I know they are supposed to be chilled drinks, but this seems unusual. Thoughts? TPWard Tue, 13 May 2008 23:58:00 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79545 I've been drinking quite a bit of Gin lately, here's a couple decent drinks I've concocted lately: Muddle a decent sized chunk of Cucumber with 3/4 oz Melon Liqueur. Add 1 oz Gin Shake and strain into bucket glass filled with ice Top with 7-up Very Refreshing! ... Josh Tue, 13 May 2008 22:46:34 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79544 Mmmm. Gin. I sometimes feel like gin is the redheaded step-child of the liquors. That is just sad. It's plenty tasty (well, the good ones anyway), it doesn't deserve to be in pushy vodka's shadow. That said here are a few simple, tasty gin based drinks that most bars can handle. ... Caitlin Tue, 13 May 2008 21:59:13 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79543 I wanna try something other than gin and tonic, and tom collins'. know what I mean? I am fond of most other spirits and know plenty of drinks for them, but gin is still a mystery to me. texas ian Tue, 13 May 2008 20:22:29 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79542 Hi, I am new on this forum.My name is meeleend.I love drinking but not regularly,I drink one or two times in month.I dislike the taste of alcohol and bear also.But I love it.I need a drink which has not a smell like alcohol. Meeleend Tue, 13 May 2008 06:19:44 GMT Recipe Exchange forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79541 Yep, your bottle's fine. That little doohickey is supposed to be there. funksouldiva Tue, 13 May 2008 05:56:27 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79540 wow, another one of the rare vodkas actually produced in the US. I hope to own a bottle soon. Hambone Tue, 13 May 2008 04:47:49 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79539 A new vodka is coming out - the first distilled and bottled on Long Island from Long Island potatoes (apparently among other ingredients - I will be clearing this up tomorrow when I meet with the owners). I came into this bottle by way of my restaurant - we will be hosting their debut and I will be creating a specialty cocktail to be served throughout the event, which will coincide with a fashion show. ... freelivin91 Tue, 13 May 2008 02:34:53 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79538 I was just at a high end supermarket here in Mexico and ran across this stuff, so my theory of it being export only was obviously not correct! It must have been destiny as it was also mentioned in an obscure newspaper article I read last week, so I bought a bottle and am going to play around with it tonight. ... Josh Mon, 12 May 2008 22:25:39 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79537 Don't be a busser, start as a server if you have absolutely no prior experience in the service industry. Learning to deal with people will be a big challenge for you i think. Serving will get you comfortable with interacting/making conversation with complete strangers. It will also teach you to get guest to ... bv2060 Mon, 12 May 2008 14:38:12 GMT Behind the Bar forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79536 I had my first frozen/blended drink about six months ago. The drink made for me was quite the odd one, it was a Blue Revv cooler and a Smirnoff Ice cooler blended with ice. I thought it was quite good, but when I attempted it myself, it failed miserably. The drinks had slush floating on top with liquid on the bottom and were watered down beyond belief. ... bretthorror Mon, 12 May 2008 09:20:52 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79535 Josh is right. Server is a step closer to bartender than busser is. Busser is looked at as only food. Server deals with food and drink. Barback is even closer. Barbacks are hired for high-volume bars. Cocktail server is a great option too. But know that you'll still have to serve food. It's the step above server with one more step to be bartender. And just because you're a bartender doesn't mean you're not gonna be serving food because you'll sell tons. ... Cheryl Charming Mon, 12 May 2008 07:01:38 GMT Behind the Bar forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79534 The ones at my bar have a built in pourer. freelivin91 Mon, 12 May 2008 04:08:18 GMT General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79533 Being a bartender is like being a server plus a load of additional responsibilities to boot. If you can't hack it being a server, you certainly won't hack it being a bartender. Josh Mon, 12 May 2008 01:58:57 GMT Behind the Bar forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/79532 Here's a great drink my daughter makes on occasion. I'm a coconut rum and coke person also. But I like Mike's and Margarita's too. Use this with or without liqueur. Is a fun drink for guests too. Orange Grenada 1 oz. Grand Mariner 1/4 cup orange juice 4 tsp. sugar ...
