@michellebellexo: How to figure out some of the ingredients in a cocktail just by its name. Once you know what words to look for, you’ll start reading drink menus like a bartender. #BartendingTips #BartendingBasics #Cocktails
Our local bar used to have what was called a “purple motherfucker” and they’ve been closed for probably 8 years now and to this day I have no idea what’s in one but I’d like one

American cocktails go crazy, in England we say "no, here's our menu"

Girl you just broke down everything so easily. Your next step on career path should be a bartender trainer for a franchise.

I’ve always said bartending is 40% technical knowledge and 60% guesswork and intuition

Yep 30 year bartender here same place, people come in all the time wanting. A drink? But they can't remember. I ask them what it tastes like and what color it was. And I nail it all the time.

I feel like that’s the same with medicine. There’s portions of the name that tell you what they do or essentially what family they come from.

They call it Irish cause the Red Bull makes the blue Long Island turn green!

I’m so amazed at how your brain works. I’m sure any seasoned bar tender would know this info, but you can tell you so genuinely care and love what you do 🥹

There’s obviously some exceptions like a “red headed slut”. You can probably guess cranberry, but the other part, not really. Though that likely won’t be as typical

Great info. I have been searching for a shot (big shot) called a mind eraser. Not the drink tho. Had it in the early 2000s in Vegas and was amazing.

My favorite one to tell people is a tootsie roll shot: grape pucker, kahlua, and orange juice (varies but favorite combo)

A bartender in the town I used to live in made a drink he called Holy Water. It wasn't on the menu and it was like a light blueish teal color. Any ideas?
