More ice please

Here is the concept.

The MORE ice you get, the STRONGER your drink will be.

I know this is a tough concept to grasp for most people.

Your glass should be filled with ice in order for the cocktail to taste the way it should.

A proper tasting cocktail such as a rum and coke should have 1 oz of spirit, and 4 oz of mix. With a full glass of ice, the proper proportions are met. If there is little ice, you will end up with 1 oz of spirit to 6 or 7 oz of mix, making your drink appear watered down.

So remember, next time your bartender puts a load of ice in your drink, he is doing you a favor!

The Dirty Martini

Are you one of those people who go up to the bar and treat the garnish tray like a buffet table?

Do you enjoy the odd dirty martini?

A dirty martini is a classic Gin or Vodka, with the addition of olive brine.

The fact is that a lot of people come to the bar and pick olives out of the garnish tray…with their fingers.

Then, some unsuspecting person will stroll up to the bar and ask for a dirty martini, so essentially they are about to drink something that 50 odd people have had their fingers in throughout the evening. MMMM.

That’s why they call it Dirty!

For a not so dirty, dirty martini, check out some ideas here. http://www.olivelovers.ca/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=74&=SID

Hit (on) & Miss

Guys, the really hot female bartender is NOT going to go home with you.

No matter how much you tip her, or how much “game” you bring, she is NOT going to go home with you.

Every time she goes to work she has every guy in the bar hitting on her. There is nothing that she hasn’t seen or heard before.

She acts like she is into you all night because you keep feeding her booze and cash. She is at WORK, and that’s exactly what she is doing.

However, if you are enjoying her company and conversation then all the power to you. Just don’t get your hopes up!

Ladies, if you want to pick up that hot male bartender, all you have to do ask.
