We'd like to have a mixed drink that kind of goes with the season - maybe red and/or green and/or white, maybe minty. We're looking for something cold. Any suggestions? Thanks!

There has been a SLIGHT dip in overall volume but the tips are still solid. I blame most of the drop off in volume on the fire marshall though, they've really been up our ass this past year. Im fortunate to live in one of the wealthiest areas in the US, so people are least affected by the recent economic downturn. 2Rude4MyOwnGood http://www.webtender.com/iforum/message.cgi?id=84329 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:09:02 UTC General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/84328 Hey guys, haven't posted in a while but am currently trying to get a job in NYC (preferably at an upscale bar).

I bought Goya passion fruit juice, sweetened it and boiled it down to a syrup. I used 10 cane and Appleton estate rums, and fresh lime juice. The drink seems to bring out all the negative, bitter qualities of both the rum and the juice. I've tried a lot of combinations, and the best I can seem to get is "meh." Is this drink just overrated or am I doing something wrong?

You wouldn't feel any (negative) prejudice about someone with pink hair? Some people are some personality because of how they look. E.g. skinheads and punks do not only look like skinheads and punks but also are skinheads and punks. In the same way you have all kinds of other social groups, with differing personalities, which differentiate themselves from each other by means of looks. ... apetail http://www.webtender.com/iforum/message.cgi?id=84319 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:26:17 UTC General Discussion forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/84318 Causes of Psoriasis: Psoriasis is driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell. Normally, T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. T cells help create scabs over wounds. In the case of psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake and become so active that they trigger other immune responses, which lead to inflammation and to rapid turnover of skin cells. ... naturalherbs http://www.webtender.com/iforum/message.cgi?id=84318 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:11:17 UTC Behind the Bar forum http://www.webtender.com/rss/go/message/84317 I hire bartenders on ability ,confidence and personality!!

I also believe that people hire those who look like themselves (and not only like the clientèle). It is not only about looks but more specifically about culture*.
