Shot glasses are small cups that can be used for serving shots. You can use them to measure 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, or 1/8 ounce of liquor.
What happens when you add too much ingredients to a drink
You can dilute the flavor of your drink by adding too many ingredients. This means that some original flavors may disappear.
What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option is the Manhattan. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon, you use rye whiskey. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is typically served in chilled glasses. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
