Booze and Coke
During my early days, I was a bartender and had the good
fortune of being taught the trade by a retired gentlemen
who spent his adult life as a bartender in a famous
Washington DC hotel......
His biggest words of advise was never drink a name brand
expensive whiskey, scotch, etc. with Coke or Ginger Ale.....
He said, "If you are not drinking it straight, on the rocks or
with club soda, you do not know what you are drinking.".....
The 'sweet' soda just covers the taste and it is a waste of
money......Drink Barstock and Coke......
Another great tip was the fact that a customer, who may have
consumed 4 - 5 shots of Chivas Regal, could no longer tell
the difference between it and Dewar's........
With the price of a drink today in a restaurant or bar, if you
want Chivas and Coke make sure you see it poured......But
yet are you sure Chivas is in the bottle.....Been there and
done that, also.......Pumps
