The basic knowledge of the bar to order alcohol

There are several types of liquor in a bar or a restaurant with a bar license:

1. highball (usually in a large, ordinary glass)

A cocktail that is a mixture of spirits liquor, liqueur, and mixed drinks mix (various kinds of juice, soda, coke, or milk). Generally by 1 ounce of liquor and the corresponding drink mix. Usually is the house highball (the hotel hotel's own named cocktail highball), or some other common name, is also a common bar cocktail (highball class), such as Tom collins, John collins, Mai Tai, killer koolaid, greyhound, screwdriver, greyhound, and other cocktails. Screwdriver, seebreeze, zombie, sling, tequila sunrise, long island iced tea, godfather, blue lagoon, (bartender's) rootbeer (nothing to do with beer) and many other names. ) and many more names.

When ordering a drink, just say the name, such as "tequila sunrise, please" (usually 1 ounce of spirits) or you can also say "2 ounces tequila sunrise, please!

2. martini

Martinis are usually made in bars with 2 ounces of wine and other things.

The glass used is a martini glass (a conical goblet), and there are different names for a martini depending on how it's made. For example, Carrie, the heroine of a movie, always ordered a cosmopolitan martini at the bar. Some other common martinis are: Manhattan, crantini (with cranberry juice), sicilian kiss, water melon, rob roy, and so on.

If you go to a bar and just say "one martini, please", the waiter will usually ask you "Gin or Vodka", so you can also be specific and say "gin martini, please". gin martini, please" or "vodka martini, please".

Some martini often use a little bit of vermouth (a sweet, herbal wine that comes in red, sweet vermouth, and white, dry vermouth, a color similar to wine), some martini use sweet vermouth, some use dry vermouth. If there is vermouth in the martini, it is usually 1/4 ounce of vermouth (dash of vermouth). If the amount of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth is the same (the same dash), then it is called perfect martini, and such as perfect Manhattan means that there is both sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth, and the other has perfect rob

There is no ice in a martini.

3. margarita (a drink made of ice and blended with juice in a blender and mixed with wine)

Common margaritas include chi chi, daiquiri, margarita, pina colada, etc. The margarita is made with 1 cup of ice, 1 cup of wine, and 1 cup of wine. Like highball, use 1 ounce of wine, and if you want it stronger (more booze), order 2 ounces.

According to the different color of the fermented taste, it is divided into: lager (as if it is the black beer in Chinese, the common brand "blue" beer on the market), light (such as cools light), ale (such as sleeman ale), stout (also black beer, such as), Guinness (also black beer, such as), and the most common beer in the market.

I've seen a combination of two different beers with two layers of different colors here, I don't know if you've ever ordered it, it's called "black and tan" (a little tricky when pouring, otherwise it'll be a mix, 1/2 stout and 1/2 ale or something else)
