A well liquor, as the name suggests, is a mixed beverage made from low-quality liquor. It can sometimes be made from brand-name liquor but it is most often made with generic liquor. You and your wallet can both benefit from liquor, but it can also be a great option for your customers. It can often be cheaper than premium liquor.
Many bars and restaurants will serve generic liquor. However, some places won't. For example, upscale restaurants don't use generic liquor. They prefer to use brand-name liquor when they are serving well drinks. Quality is the most important aspect of buying well liquor. Quality well drinks will ensure that your customers return to your restaurant time and again.
Well drinks can be made quickly and easily. You can also add fresh juices or garnishes to make them even more appealing. Fresh juices taste better than juice concentrates. This will improve customer satisfaction but it may also cost more in the beginning.
Bartenders often choose well drinks. They are easy to make, reliable and cost-effective. A well drink can be made in under a minute. Generic liquor is also used in most wells, which can make it a bargain.
Wiktionary provides a quick reference to help you understand what well liquor is. It is also possible to look it up in other languages. There is a good chance you already know what it's called. If you are thinking of opening a bar or restaurant, it is worth learning more about this drink. Getting familiar with well liquor will help you to serve the best drinks at the best prices.
Although liquor can make great cocktails, you want to make sure your customers are happy. You can do this by making well drinks with fresh juices. A margarita, for example, is made from rum, lime juice, sugar cubes, and water. Add this to a glass filled with ice. To finish, add a lime slice to the rim.
A Rum and Coke is another popular drink. The most common ingredients are rum and Coca-Cola. A gin-and-tonic can be made using two ounces of tonic water and gin. A Whiskey Sour can also be made using two ounces of well-bourbon, lemon juice and simple syrup. Serve this in a coupe glass with ice. Add lime wedges or bitters to garnish.
Other popular well drinks include whiskey on the rocks, which is made with blended whiskey. A classic gin-and-tonic is also possible. This simple drink consists of two ounces gin, two ounces tonic water and a wedge lime. The popular well drink of choice is the Tequila Sunrise. You can make it with Blanco tequila, Jose Cuervo, or Sauza.
FAQ
What are the top drinks bartenders should know?
A bartender should learn how to create a perfect cocktail. It's more than just mixing ingredients. It is not enough to know the purpose of each ingredient and why you chose it. A good bartender will know all of these things and use this knowledge to create a great drink.
What type of glasses do I need?
Get glasses that hold less than 4oz (118ml). Glasses larger then this are more likely to be hot and can lead to burns.
How do I keep my drinks cool?
Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. This will fast chill them without diluting their drink.
How can you tell if a beverage is strong?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. The proof measures the amount of alcohol contained in a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle wine would have ten proofs, while a 16-ounce bottle would be 16. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.

Statistics
- If you choose one that's made with 100 percent agave (like Milagro or Sauza), you'll save a ton of money and still get a great-tasting drink. (mashed.com)
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)
- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
