MINI BAR VOCABULARY
|
Have you ever been in a bar and hear someone order a drink that you didn’t understand? Well, after reading this article you will be equipped to order drinks like the pros!
ON THE ROCKS: The classic on the rocks simply means over ice. This term is simple enough.
"I would like a Vodka on the rocks." –
UP: When asking for a drink "Up" you want the alcohol/drink shaken with ice, but served in a glass with no ice. This way the alcohol is chilled through the process of shaking.
"I would like a shot of Jack "Up."
NEAT: Neat is another term that is simple enough. It means they would like that alcohol served in a glass by itself. No ice, no nothing. Just the alcohol in its normal form.
"I would like a glass of Scotch, neat"

TWIST: This refers to the garnish you get with your drink. For example, Gin and tonics usually come with a lime. So, when you are ordering your drink and want an extra flavour, or garnish, simply ask for it with a twist.
"I would like a vodka tonic with a twist of lime"
DIRTY: This is generally referred to with Martini’s. A dirty Martini is a traditional gin/vodka Martini, however you pour anywhere from half an ounce to an ounce (depending on the person) of olive juice into the already mixed Martini.
"I would like a Vodka Martini, make it Dirty.
DRY OR SWEET: This also refers to Martini’s. However, this refers to the type of vermouth you put in the glass. Obviously use dry for a dry Martini, and sweet for a sweet Martini. If the person asks for "extra dry" or "extra sweet" that means use a little more vermouth then you normally would. But remember, a little vermouth goes a long way!
"I would like a Vodka Martini, make it Dry"
And with these six new terms you are ready to order drinks like a pro!
