the art of bartending

Postby Miklo » Fri Aug 10, 2012 7:02 pm

So here I am in oklahoma writing this off my phone. First what I love is that from the liquor store to the bar, it is significantly cheaper dollor wise to be a drunkard. Secondly, what I hat is that I'm at the bar right now, and I just ordered a manhatten and the bartender (who has a great ass) tells me that they don't have bitters or vermoth, what kind of bar dosnt have the fucking basic necessities?

Problem solved.

Although I agree it takes piss poor management for a bar to run out of the basics.

I've never been to the NorthEast--never been to Vermouth--and it makes me bitters sometimes. But I Angostura trouble...

In these situations, I've found the best tact to say, "Forget the manhatten. Give me a whiskey. And make it neat. Think you can handle that, sweetheart?"
