Favorite Shot or Mixed Drink

    Alright, I've taken on a side job as a bartender, and I've been getting all of these weird requests for shots and drinks. I need to expand my collection of what drinks I can make. What is your favorite drink, and how do you make it?

    Learn how to mix a 'Thandai' and then you will not get a request for any other.

    Awesome! I love bartenders.

    Anyways, I get these a lot (college student):

    -Bacardi and Cola
    -Long Island Iced Tea
    -Vodka on the rocks

    I hate screwdrivers, though. I'd rather just have Vodka. I've had bartenders take the soda out of the Long Island, as well.

    My wife and her friends always get "buttery nipples" some kind of baileys shot.

    Oprah's favorite is very tasty

    1 oz vodka
    1/2 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
    3 oz pomegranate juice

    Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker 1/4 filled with chopped ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

    I'm bartending at a local radio station party friday night and my boss told me to expect around $300-400 tips that night, my bank must think i'm a stripper with all the $1's hahah :) I've learned so much already, plus its a blast! I make crap per hour but the tip money pays the billz.

    Okay, I have something to confess.

    When I started going out to bars after my 21st birthday (I'm a good boy!), I had no idea that you were supposed to tip bartenders. My ex had even been a bartender, and I never put two and two together: that you should order drinks AND tip at the same time.

    Still, I don't see any reason to start now. Tell me why I should.
