FAQ
Why are people calling a cocktail "a Martini"?
When Americans were drinking more alcohol in the 1900s, they called every drink that contained alcohol "martini". The term came to be associated with a certain type of martini: one made with dry vermouth and not sweet vermouth.
What type of glasses do I need?
Buy glasses that hold 4oz (118ml) or less. Glasses that are larger than this can get very hot and cause burns.
What can I do to freeze my drinks?
Yes, but there are some precautions you should follow. First, be sure to label all of your bottles, so you know which ones have been frozen. Also, don't fill your bottles more than halfway. A full bottle can cause your drink to overflow and spill out. Last but not least, wait at minimum two hours after opening a bottle to chill your drinks before you pour it into another container.
What is a shot glass used for?
Shot glasses can be used to pour shots of liquor. You can use them for 1/2 ounce (or 1/4 ounce) or 1/8 of an ounce (or both).

How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
Although there are many ways to order drinks at a local bar, you need to be able to identify the drink you desire before you approach the counter. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
