Or perhaps call it Ill have what shes having.
Youve got to admit, Meg Ryan was embarrassingly convincing.
Yess. Yes. YES! She was messing up her hair and pounding on the table while Billy Crystal sat opposite her at the booth in a diner. He smugly watched while she faked the big O.
Nope. This has nothing to do with When Harry Met Sally.
The subject of this months contest could be called What a good bartender ought to know.
Aside from playing part time therapist, its always helpful to know how to make any drink the customer throws your way. If you know a little libation trivia, thats all the better to keep your customers talking and drinking.
Below I will list the ingredients for 20 drinks a bartender ought to know. Yeah, listing the name of the drink and asking for the ingredients would be way too easy using search engines!
I will also include a few libation trivia questions to separate the drink mixers from the educated bartenders.
Its much more fun when all participants (and all you lurkers too) post comments and answers right here at the thread. So instead of having answers emailed directly to me, please post your best guesses right here.
I realize the potential to copy answers and cheating is high. So if you want to throw some folks off, go ahead and sound like you know all the answers by replying with all incorrect answers. I dont mind at all. Serves em right I say.
If you are seriously playing to win and really dont want to post your answers publically, you can certainly email me directly at bigguapote1@verizon.net .
I'd be glad to post the winning submissions here after the cut off.
I will be looking for the most correct answers from the top two contestants. If it comes down to it, an earlier submission will trump the later.
First prize is worth $50.00 in TUIC credit, second price is worth $25.00
The cut off for answer submissions is at 3 AM EST on Sunday the 7th. Thats midnight on Saturday for all you left coasters.
Have fun. Experiment often. Play responsibly.
