FAQ
How long does it take for homemade frozen cocktails to be made?
It depends on the number of cocktails you are making. It will take 20 minutes to make 12 cocktails. It will take 40 minutes if you make 24 cocktails.
How do you keep your drinks cold?
Keep them in the fridge for 20 minutes. They will quickly chill without diluting your drink.
What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, sugar syrup, bitters, and water.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
When people started adding ice to the mix, they added "Old-Fashioned" to the title because they felt the old-fashioned version tasted better.
A Manhattan could be another option. Another great option. It is basically an Old Fashioned variation. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.
What kinds of glasses should I buy?
Avoid glasses with a volume greater than 4oz (118ml). Glasses larger in volume than this can cause glasses to heat up and possibly burn your eyes.
How do I know if a drink is strong?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof is one part alcohol for every 100g of grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13proofs and a 40oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.
There are many kinds of liquors.
There are many types of liquor today. Some of these are distilled spirits (such as vodka, rum, tequila, and bourbon), while others are flavored liquors (such as amaretto, and apricot brandy). There are also cordials, liqueurs and fruit wines.
Statistics

- It is customary to leave a tip of 10-20% of the bill total. (boguesounddistillery.com)
- majority of pineapple juice and Malibu rum is only 21% alcohol content. (breakingtheboredom.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)
