9 errors that we make in the bar

Drinking in a good bar is one of the greatest pleasures in life. But there are several mistakes that are often made out of ignorance.

Jim Meehan, co-owner of one of 50's best bars in the world, New York's Spikizi PDT (Please Don't Tell), As reported It`s my wine, told about 9 things that cocktail bars shouldn't do.

1. Do not ask the bartender to make you a cocktail to taste

Do not ask what he likes to drink, it does not help. He prepares a drink based on your preferences, not on his own. Answer the on-duty question “What do you drink?”: “I love tequila” or “Something tropical” - this is how you give the bartender material for work. If you have alcohol or a cocktail that you don’t like, say so first. But please don't turn this conversation into a 5 minute debate.

2. Do not give up sugar in a cocktail, referring to the diet

Here's how it works: any cocktail where there is an acid part needs a sweet ingredient for balance. Each bartender seeks to achieve the perfect combination of strong, sweet and bitter in a cocktail. If you remove one component from the cocktail, believe me, you will not like it. If you are particularly sensitive to sugar, ask the bartender to make you the driest cocktail, order whiskey with soda or a shot of pure alcohol.

3. Do not ask everywhere to use your favorite alcohol.

If you prefer a dry martini on gin Beefeater or classic "Manhattan" on bourbon Wild Turkey - tell the bartender about it. But with the author's cocktails, the situation is exactly the opposite: the bartender carefully selected gin, rum or mezcal for this drink. Asking him to replace the ingredient is the same as pulling a cube out of the pyramid "Jenga" - you destroy the cocktail. Such behavior is excusable only if your last name is Bim or Daniels (sending to Jim Beam и Jack Daniels).

4. Do not return the cocktail half drunk

You have every right to enjoy a cocktail for which you gave $ 15 or more. If something bothers you, you can ask it to be replaced or redone. Any good bartender will meet you. Just do it right - when you take your first sip, call the bartender and tell him that something is wrong. Getting a cocktail back to the bartender is unpleasant, so don't make scandals, just order the drink you are sure of. A half-drunk cocktail is a clear sign that it was quite bearable.

5. Respect the person who serves you

There is nothing more humiliating for a professional than to doubt his competence. If you have a question about alcohol, about the composition of the cocktail or something related to it, first ask the waiter. Often in cocktail establishments (including PDT) the barmen themselves serve the guests in the hall and know perfectly well what is in your glass.

6. Do not leave a dollar tip for one drink

Tips are always at your discretion. So we will not recommend whether to leave at all a tip and how much. But it is worth noting: the amount of effort spent on the preparation of syrups, juices and tinctures in your glass is much more than on opening a beer. Most of the guests for a good cocktail throw 20% of its value.

7. Do not hesitate to order something instead of a cocktail.

In the PDT there are several varieties of craft beer and local wine, worthy non-alcoholic cocktails, just for this occasion. They are selected as carefully as they make a cocktail card. So, if you want a beer, order. If you don’t like any cocktail on the menu, ask to mix any classic drink for you. The bartender is here to cook what you want. But remember the rule number 1!

8. Do not overdo hospitality

In cities where the rental rate is high (London, New York), in a popular bar, the place behind the desk is expensive. Thank you until you eat and drink, and 20 minutes after you have finished the last cocktail. If you want to stay - ask if other guests are waiting for a place. The pledge of a good night: 3 drink per person, 30 minutes - and you can go on!

9. Don't be the guest

If you ask yourself a question, have you drunk too much, most likely it is. In many states, the authorities oblige bartenders to be responsible for the guest, even when he left the establishment. If you feel that you have touched, better stop this game - you are unlikely to get out of it the winner.
