Bartender success depends on having a good grasp of bartender slang. Bartenders can use some very clever and funny slang. Others terms are more serious. A bartender can use the right language to help customers understand what they are looking for.
Bartender slang often uses the term "shot" to refer to drinks served in small glasses. These "shots" are usually served without food. They are made with hard liquors like vodka and Bourbon. Some shots are part of a drinking game. This drink is often used to get drunk quickly. These drinks are usually served as part of a special occasion.
A "chaser" is a drink that is consumed after the shot is consumed. The term "chaser" originally meant to have a small amount of alcohol to reduce the aftertaste. It can also be used to refer to a small amount.
In the 1800s, "taking shots" was a term that was used to denote taking a chance. "Shots" were first served in cups and glasses at taverns, coffeehouses, and other places in the mid-19th-century. "Shots" today are often served in games.
A drink called "Buy Back" can be a free beverage given to a customer. A regular customer often sends the drink to a bar, where the bartender makes the drink and sends it back to the customer. This can be a good thing, since the bartender can make the drink without having to spend any money.
A term called "sour beer" has many meanings. It can also refer to beer with a strong flavor, such gueuzes. Unfiltered beer can also be used, such American wild ales or Berliner weisses. It can also be used to refer to beer that is aged like lambics. These terms are very popular with beer geeks.
"Speed rail liquors" can be found in an order that is easy to identify on the shelf. These liquors are often not of premium quality, but they can still be very alcoholic. Bourbon, vodka (or vodka), rum, rum, and brandy are some the most commonly ordered liquors on speed rail. Although these drinks aren't top-notch, they are some of the most requested liquors.
A "spec" refers to a cocktail recipe. It could be a specific recipe or a description of the ingredients. It can also serve to describe the proportions of each ingredient in a cocktail.
A "drain pour", is a drink which is poured directly from the bottle. A drink served "neat" would be poured from the bottle into a glass without ice. A drink that is served "dry" is one with very little vermouth in a Martini.
Bartenders use the "Last Call" term to describe drinks made straight from the bottle. A drink called "neat" is one that is served at room temperature, without ice. Drinks that are served without ice are called "drinks".
A "behind stick" is used to describe the bartender who is behind the counter. This word may have come from wooden handles on beer taps. However, it is not a universally used word in bars.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. Keep the liquid in a sealed container in your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
