Different strokes for different folks. :) Like Bippo said, there's a million 
and one ways how to make a Cosmo now; there's no set standard anymore, aside 
from "giggle giggle make mine SWEET giggle I don't want to taste the alcohol 
giggle"

Coulda also gone the easy route with Scotch and said Johnnie Walker. :P As for 
the Canadians, Crown Royal and Canadian Club are the only two I can think of.

Bugger me in the arse, I'm coming to your bar if you charge the standard price 
for a Marg for 90MLS OF TEQUILA. That would kill a small horse, let alone a 21 
year old kid (HAH! Pot calling the kettle...).

So either we kill you with tequila, or we kill you with sour! :P I follow the 
ratio of 3:2:1 tequila:triplesec:lime, but others have different opinions.

(Because some people are really stupid. These are the same people that like 
lime cordial poured into their beer. I hate these people)

Knowledge wise, not too shabby! Remembering all of it under pressure and 
behind the bar though will be a different story. Also, it hasn't been 
mentioned, but the way you move behind the bar will be a dead giveaway that 
you've never tended before; I don't want to break your heart, but there's 
nothing you can do to change it. It's just something that comes with 
experience and feeling more comfortable behind the stick. 
That being said, everyone has to start somewhere. You'll be fine. :) You have 
passion, and that's something that can't be taught.


> Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I don't celebrate it, but same to you. Isn't there like a Superbowl match on 
or something? And one of you seppos had better have eaten a Turducken. (that's 
a duck stuffed inside a chicken stuffed inside a turkey, for those not in the 
know.)
