What do y'all like to drink? I just been learning how to mix drinks (with generous help from www.thebar.com) and am thinking about bartending as a career.

When I drink, I drink Whiskey and Beer. Jack Daniels and Budweiser. Sue me.
I've bartended off and on for 6 years at an array of environments. All I can say is Know your Clientele. Knowing how to make an Alabama Slammer at a nice restaurant is as about as useful as making Rob Roy's in a sports bar.
Good luck

I'm debating whether sketch is a spam artist but if so I don't get his angle. Every post has a URL in it, though. And there are exact mirrors of this post over at Pixiesmusic.
BTW, your new sig cracked me up LBF.

I thought the same thing as you and I still do, but I responded anyway.
This forum has more hasslers per capita than the Cayman Islands.

| No benji, it's a bitch to find. I've only seen it at Bevmo here in the states. Worth seeking out though. |

At the moment a gin and tonic or a newcastle brown ale will do.
Or coffee. Always 'or coffee'. |

| When I make it to the U.K. the first thing I'm going to do is try a Newcastle. 10 years ago it seemed to be a lot better quality in the states than it is now. It tastes like crap now here, maybe they stopped putting the goat blood in or something. |

Just before christmas I was hankering for a newcastle brown ale and the hidden pub I was in didn't sell it. The barmaid suggested I try half lager half bitter. I said that sounded odd and she said she'd give me some to try, "some" was half a pint. It was quite nice and actually was slightly like newcastle brown ale so I got a pint plus my free half pint.
The moral is flirting with the barstaff always pays. Oh, no, the moral is that half bitter half lager is ok tasting. |

I could go for about half of those. I'm not a guy and I'm not a spammer, I'm a lady trying to get some ideas for drinks to learn bartending, but I also wanted to contribute something so I listed my favorite site, thebar.com. Here's one of my faves off there:
Angus Collins
Ingredients
• 1.5 oz. scotch

• 1 cherry

• Stir and serve over crushed ice
• Garnish with cherry and lemon twist

Alright, fair enough, like I said, I couldn't decide. Welcome aboard.

Heh, the definition of a caesar is with clamato. :P Otherwise it's a bloody mary. Also, it's quite tasty. Fact. :P

Would you honestly drink a bloody mary though?
Now that's rank, or at least I think tomato juice is rank.
Its all thick and goopy...

Yeah, I can't imagine ever wanting a bloody mary. Or bloody anyone, for that matter...

I have too. It's fish-tasting tomato juice. And if I'm not mistaken, the reason for all the world's ills.

Yeah I even taught him how to make a caesar and he still didn't like it.
Did you put a piece of celery in it???

It doesn't taste like fish!! Also celery is classic, but what about these new garnishes? Asparagus, jalapeno green beans, ... ?
Anyway, on to my favourite drink (aside from some nice Canadian beer):
Finlandia on the rocks, light press. Grey Goose works well too.

You're all mental. No wonder we let you have your independence, we clearly can't have people like you on our books.

the caesar is the most underrated drink in the world. i admit it can be an acquired taste but you'll be hooked in no time if you give it a chance. in a way the caesar is like frank- brilliant and undiscovered by the majority of the planet.
and it is very good with a pickled asparagus.
