What happens when you add too much ingredients to a drink
Drinks that contain too many ingredients will have a diminished flavor. This will cause some of the original flavors to disappear.
How do I know if a drink is strong?
Drinks with more alcohol are stronger than those with less. The proof measures the amount of alcohol contained in a drink. One proof is one part alcohol for every 100g of grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would need to be 10 proofs while a 16 oz. bottle would require 16. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. 45 proofs of Scotch would equal a bottle.
What is a shaker and how can it help you?
A shaker is used to combine two or more ingredients. The shaker also comes with a strainer that allows you to strain the mixture. It also features a lid, which helps prevent unwanted smells from escaping while it's being shaken.
What size ice cube tray do I need?
You'll need either a 6 x 8-inch or a 5 x 7-inch ice cube tray.
Is it possible to freeze several batches of cocktails in advance?
Yes! Yes! You can freeze batches of cocktails. You can freeze the cocktails by placing the bottles into an airtight container. Once they are used, store them in the freezer. You can simply thaw your bottles in the refrigerator overnight to enjoy.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
