8. Bartending school in Harrisburg - 40 hours of class time. |
|
"Popular" changes constantly. Start with the "Black Book" and keep notes.

most recently ATZ for 2 years.
Multiple liquore drinks aren't as popular but mixed shots certainly are. Most people drink beer, wine or the usual rum and coke but I've made a billion red snappers, red headed sluts, jager bombs, etc. Martinis, cosmos, margarita's are all still popular but I don't think I have ever made a Harvey Wallbanger.

5. Yeah when I was tending bar Red Bull wasn't stocked... |
|
I guess I'm making it out to be way worse than it really is. What is AZT? I think it's all the new fangled martinis I'm nervous about.

7. I work at a bar, but not as a bartender |
|
I'm the karaoke DJ, but the drink that goes over the most where I work is the Washington Apple: Crown, Apple Pucker, and a bit of cranberry juice. Now that we've got the UV cake in, we've been mixing a lot of drinks with that too. As for me, I'll stick with my non-light beer and Firewater.

11. Washington Apples have always been pretty popular, even in my day |
|
all ages liked them. UV Cake wasnt out yet though. There weren't so damn many flavors of Vodka then.
