You Can Do Better - How To Order Drinks Like a Pro

Step 1: find a less condescending bartender

Thank you guys i learned nothing.

Honestly lol

[@PoweRiff]

3 years later and it is still not helpful 😂

[@KevinEontrainer381]

Hey I'd like a glass of Dihydrogen Monoxide. Make sure the pH is 7. Two can play that game...

[@bmogsy967]

who orders water at a bar

[@Khapresha]

Mogsy Games ...lots of people

[@gourabsarker6895]

And they would probably give you an apparently empty glass, saying "there you go sir , fresh water vapour "😀

[@HabitualLover]

Irritating how large they feel toward the guy who's just unfamiliar. Ppl like that are so overdue for getting over themselves.

[@ponymaster2939]

There’s some helpful tips in there, but I feel like as hospitality workers, it our job to guide our guests through ordering a drink.

[@Gathanokos]

I used to just ask what they all meant and the bartenders I've faced always loved explaining what each method does and how it fits certain drinks. Just ask like a normal human being XD

[@anthonyhutchins2300]

I don't get why bartending attracts snobs. Can you imagine a server doing a video like this about food? Lol

[@ohheyLeighannn]

...Yeah, that guy, in the beginning, is basically me in every situation. My nerves always get the best of me

[@robrick9361]

I'll just have a water.

[@mninr4843]

She asked if he wants his Martini on the rock? Why would you ask that??????

[@vmdp8790]

I will drink martini on the rock

[@shtigers01]

MNINR believe it or not alot of people drink martinis on the rocks. Older people that I serve drink them alot because it makes the drink last longer for them

[@auto_math]

because "alphas" think that Martini glasses are girly and they'd rather drink it in a short tumbler on the rock since it's apparently more manly...

[@slappy8941]

@@auto_math No, dumbass, a rocks glass is easier to hold and less likely to spill than a martini glass, and whether you're out for a long night of drinking, or just having an afternoon cocktail, it doesn't hurt to dilute the drink some. Only immature amateurs are afraid of ice.

[@giorgiogazzola5972]

Maybe he meant to say WITH some rock? Nothing like Martinis and crack my friend.

[@methyod]

If someone ordered a Martini with no other specifications and the bartender DOESNT make them a gin martini, up, with a twist, that bartender doesn't know the spec of a martini and should be ashamed of themselves.

[@seansouthwick6168]

this is so pretentious.

[@Jutaisc2]

And ironically, incorrect.

[@stephenwatchesyoutube]

Jutaisc2 what part?

[@Aaron-wv1ww]

Well see thats where you are wrong, because like many stores certain bars only have certain drinks because of what type of bar it is, you will not find cocktails at a bar in iowa near the cornfields in a small town, you will find nothing but shots of jack and beer. So think about what you want to drink, before you go to a certain bar, because whether you like it or not, not all bars have every single drink, unless you're looking for 2-3 mix drinks like jack and coke, gin and tonic, and a daiquiri

[@cjanelle1]

I always feel stupid because I don’t drink and I don’t know what to order @33years old I was never into the night life when I was younger (aka my 20s) and I don’t like the taste of any alcohol 🍷 🤷🏽‍♀️ so I need help on what to order

[@randomuser1105]

@@sohammitra3100 Someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol should probably order a cocktail because it can mask the flavor. They shouldn't drink straight spirits.

[@randomuser1105]

Experiment with tasting different alcohols and cocktails to see if you can find anything you like. If you find you don't like anything, don't drink alcohol. It's not a requirement anywhere that I know of.

[@ianharris3502]

Whiskey sours and Moscow mules are my favorite cocktails, because I hate the taste of alcohol, lol

[@HiImKatt]

That's me😭😭 I'm a drinker but when I go clubbing idk what to order at the bar😭😭😭😭.

[@wongben4]

I can’t even Order McCafe like a pro

[@lemonlateralus]

You forgot the craft beer bar!

I would just order a glass milk, warm.

Or a glass coke, warm

How to order drinks: hey I want a drink. Bam done.

[@TheMasterfulcreator]

I mean...no. They're gonna ask you what you want.

[@Aaron-wv1ww]

Yea that joke flew over your head

[@hung1396]

This hardly helped! Thanks

[@Disinf3ctant]

Wine bars are the opposite in Australia. Literally the cheapest alcoholic thing you can drink. The government barely taxes wine.

[@slappy8941]

Yeah but Oz has excellent wines.

[@ernestojerezaguilar2006]

"double shot of jack, neat. And a pint of Guinness"

[@lucidreamer6522]

As a non-drinker, this is surprisingly useful for some creative writing projects I'm involved in. Thank you!

[@TENRAN432]

ditto, thats why i'm here lol

[@hidazip]

Japanese bar. Drink whatever you want, as much as you want for the same price. Tipping is forbidden. But don't forget to tell them not to put ice in a whisky when you want it straight.

[@sshakababy]

Did not help at all. I usually have to go the bar and ask the bartender what whiskies they have. Sometimes I ask the bartender what good whisky cocktails he knows. If he names more than a couple I ask him to tell me a bit more about them. I must be a huge pain in the ass I guess.

[@mathiasaagaard5522]

this is waaay to American.

[@randomuser1105]

It was probably made for America.

[@wariyoshidirector]

Eh people are calling this pretentious (and it is; the worst that will happen if you don't know what you're ordering is your friends will lightly tease you), but I feel like this is an important video for first time drinkers. I drink a decent amount, but I've never had the inkling to order a martini, so now I know :)

[@hidazip]

I never get asked anything when I order a martini. What even is a martini on the rock.

[@NuriBass69]

"One beer and a Jäger please." That's it, no magic behind ordering something to drink.

[@randomuser1105]

Except some people won't like beer and Jäger.

[@RJN9008]

I like martinis at home. The first time I ordered one at a nice bar I said “I’ll take a beefeater gin martini, 5:1 ratio please with a twist.” And the bartender told me not to tell him how to make a martini. I scraped the martini and asked for a beer. 😂

[@edwinramirez1019]

if not a beer oriented place, (usually people can differentiate) just ask for the bartender's recommendation.

[@artopratt]

Want a sprite cranberry?

[@dude4173]

This is the worst advice ever. Do what you want and don't worry about what losers like this guy thinks!

[@josiah566]

oh god please never recommend me to have a martini on the rocks

[@ericsesame6321]

There was a time when I actually said, "I want a Mer-Lot" as in Big Lots, a lot, that's my "lot" in life, you get the idea. 😐

[@MarvFitBikesKicks]

So off putting to have a bartender like that, especially when it’s loud. All the technical bar lingo fucks with my head and makes me not want to go in those places

[@Valliepe]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? You avoided wine bar?! Of course it's hard to know what a wine is! ;9

[@prithvibumia2941]

Hello , I would like a dirty martini, stirred not shaken. (Shaken is a lie people)

[@joddo1991]

Shaken....not stirred

[@7peso]

Best part : drinks are one him... why thank you!!!yeeah...:)))

[@sandeepbjm]

You know in some countries tipping is rude. So watch out.

[@pinkprincess8840]

I learned i like tiki bars 😆

[@beeteater4142]

You know what's annoying? Asking for Rum on the rocks. Most of the time I have to ask what kind of liquor is available, cause I'm not going to sit there sipping well shots all night, that's not an experience it's a feat of strength. If you ask for bombay sapphire and club soda with a lime or orange twist, and they come back with a typical tanqueray and tonic, you gotta hope it's free. Otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

[@guystevens5429]

Can someone tell this tool that he can do better with his hair? This was painful.

[@sweatshirt12569]

This is dumb.

Scotch, on the rocks. Boom just saved your drinking experience

No.

[@brucebrooker3633]

"Like porn to a Supreme Court Justice"...love it! Customer: Hey can you make a Martini? Bartender: Can you make a shoe stink?

[@gabegoldweight1854]

So sick of these pretentious hipster advice garbage! Enjoy the moment, order whaterver and if you get it wrong, you learn! This is why so many still live with their parents. These hipster hippies do not know how to socialize and live life without fear. Why not create a video that teaches others to grow up, walk to a bar and ask for whatever they want, if they don't have it, ask for something else, at worst, what would be recommended!

Never under estimate that your a beast a Man

He said martini.. why she ask on the rocks???
