FAQ
Which is the most loved mixed drink?
The most popular mixed drinks are often based on alcohol and caffeine. This is because they contain both stimulants AND depressants.
Alcohol can stimulate the central nervous system which makes us feel more energy. Caffeine increases energy levels, and can help you focus. These two substances have similar benefits and are often combined.
However, there are many other reasons to enjoy cocktails. Some drink them to relax and others for their soothing properties after a long work day.
No matter what your reason, these are three fantastic cocktail recipes you can create.
-
A classic gin martini
-
A vodka cranberry

Irish coffee
What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
You might also consider a Manhattan. This is another great option. It is basically an Old Fashioned variation. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
What type of glasses should I purchase?
Buy glasses that hold 4oz (118ml) or less. Glasses larger than this tend to get very hot and could cause burns.
What size ice tray do I require?
You will either need a 6x8-inch tray or a 5-x7-inch tray for ice cubes.

How To
How to order drinks from the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. You can ask your server to recommend what kind of drink you would like. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
