If the bartender in your local pub pours 100oz of spirits per day, but each time pours 1/8 oz too much…
The loss to the bar after one year is $
In a nightclub like this one where they serve 2500oz of spirits per night, if each bartender pours 1/8 oz too much…
Even if they’re only open 3 nights per week, the loss to the bar after one year is $245,201.78

Snifter is short stemmed because it is meant to sit in the palm of your hand.
The footed mug is used to serve after dinner specialty coffees and has a handle to protect your hand from hot beverages.
Margarita glasses have a long stem much like wine glasses. Any long stemmed glassware is meant to be held by the stem, so the heat from your hand doesn’t affect the temperature or composition of the drink.
The hurricane glass is actually named after the glass candle shield which was created to protect candles from wind before there was electricity.

16. Barware Beer Glassware Half Pint 12oz. Sleeve Pint 16oz. Mug Pint
A half pint is commonly 12oz even though a pint is technically 20oz. Most bars stock 12oz half pint glasses because they also hold a 12oz (bottle) of beer.
When boston glasses are used to serve pints, they are called sleeves. Bars try to pass these off as pints, even y though they’re saving 4oz or 20% per beer. Buyer Beware!!!
Beer glasses should be kept separate from cocktail glasses whenever possible, and used strictly for beer.
Pints are popular, pitchers are a great way to serve beer, much like a bottle of wine, it’s very easy for a bartender to serve a pitcher then focus their efforts on other guests.

17. Barware Wine Glassware Flute White Wine Red Wine Carafe
The proper volume to serve in a glass of wine is to the widest point in the glass.
Red wine glasses are wider to allow more oxidation.
White wine glasses tend to be smaller to maintain a cooler temperature.
Champagne flutes used to be shallow martini like glasses, but new tall thin champagne flutes maintain carbonation for longer.
Carafe’s are used to age the wine faster by pouring it out of the bottle and exposing it to more air faster.

19. Serving Wells
A Bartender’s Service Well is the area in which 98% of all drinks are made and usually consists of the following:
Ice Well & Cold Plate
Soda & Juice Gun
Draft Beer Tap
Speed Rail
Garnish / Straws / Napkins
In the ice well, the cold plate must be covered with ice in order to insure that the pop is carbonated.
Ideally you want your bar to be set up so that nothing is more than 2 steps away.

20. Bar Rail Speed Rails are located on Service Wells that use
bottles to dispense alcohol. Normally found in a Speed Rail, are the following:
Vodka, Rye, Rum, Gin, Scotch, Tequila
Commonly used liqueurs
Lime Cordial & Grenadine
House Red Wine
Juice Jugs (when Juice Gun not used)

21. Back Bar Back Bars are most often located behind the Bartender.
Items often kept on the Back Bar are as follows:
Premium Liquor (Up-selling Items)
Liqueurs (ex. Baileys)
P.O.S. System
Cash Drawer
Never, ever clutter, no empties, no drinks, never,never,never….you should be able to turn around blind to find what your after. Stock it up, backup juices, straws napkins, anything you can run out of during your shift, think ahead

22. Bar Fridges There are numerous types of fridges found on and in Bars.
Located on the bar itself:
Bar Fridge (Front loaded)
Beer Coffin (Top loaded)
Located elsewhere inside the Bar:
Keg Fridge (Storage for in use & back-up Kegs)
Beer Fridge (Storage for back-up cases of Beer)
Coffin style fridges make it easier to open doors and access the beer while people pass behind you.
Front loader fridges make it impossible to move behind the bar when a door is open.

23. BartenderOne Academy Spirits

24. Spirits Common Spirits Vodka Gin Rum Whiskey Brandy Tequila
Most often distilled to 40% ABV
Alcohol content can be measured in 2 ways
Alcohol by volume (e.g.. 40%)
Alcohol Proof (simply double the ABV)

25. Spirits Vodka Colorless & odorless Distilled & Filtered
Made from wheat, barley, rye or potato
Originated in Russia
Served Cold
Very versatile
Taking off today and a fantastic tool, flavoured vodkas. Flavoured spirits are usually distilled to between 25% and 35%.
Malibu is actually only 21%, Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka and Bacardi Razz Rum are both Distilled to 35%

26. Spirits Quality Premium Super Premium Absolut Skyy Grey Goose
This is how most people perceive Vodkas. Grey Goose is a very good Vodka, with excellent marketing. Out of 6 vodkas (Smirnoff, Absolut, Grey Goose, Belvedere, Chopin and Finlandia) does anyone know what the best tasting vodka was in a blind taste test among 60 of the best bartenders in Toronto?
Absolut finished 1st in the blind test, Grey Goose finished a surprising 5th out of 6.
Most people order their drinks based on marketing and have never tasted vodkas (or any spirits) on their own. With the finishing school, you not only get to blind taste spirits to find out which ones you (and others) truly like the best, you then try the same spirits in cocktails to see how they react. Find out which vodka makes the ultimate cosmopolitan with the vodka finishing school.

27. Spirits Gin Colorless Spirit Distilled & Infused
Made from barley, corn or rye
Flavored with juniper berries & botanical ingredients
With the gin finishing school you’ll get to taste hand crafted Tom Collins with 5 different types of gins.
Gins tend to exhibit many more unique characteristics than Vodkas, many more distinct flavours, like pear, red fruit and berries, cucumber, and even rose petals.

28. Spirits Quality Premium Super Premium Bombay Sapphire Hendrick’s
A “still” is the piece of equipment used to create or “distill” a spirit.
There are only a few Carterhead stills remaining in the world today and three are exclusive to Bombay Sapphire. Unlike many other gins, which boil their botanicals directly in the spirit to achieve their taste, the 10 botanicals in Bombay Sapphire are held separate from the spirit in a perforated copper basket. The Carterhead stills remove any last impurities in the spirit vapour before it passes up through the basket and in a process known as vapour infusion it is delicately infused with the aromatic flavours of the botanicals.

Originally produced in the Caribbean
Rum is the base for the worlds best selling cocktail, the Cuba Libre.

35. Spirits Irish Whiskey Made in Ireland Is sweeter than scotch
Does not have a smoky flavor like scotch
Available in single-malt or blended varieties
Although it iss similar to Scotch whisky in many ways — principally in that it was distilled primarily from barley — traditional Irish whiskey is distilled from a mash of mixed malted and unmalted grains and must be made in Ireland. Malting is a process applied to cereal grains, in which the grains are made to germinate by soaking in water.

36. Spirits Bourbon Whiskey (American) Also known as Kentucky whiskey
Made from corn
Aged in oak barrels
Tennessee Whiskey
At one time, all whisky was spelled without the extra "e", as "whisky". In around 1870, the reputation of Scottish whisky was very poor as Scottish distilleries flooded the market with cheaper spirits produced using the Coffey still. The Irish and American distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey", with the extra "e", to distinguish their higher quality product.[2] Today, the spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for whiskies distilled in Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, and Japan, while whiskey is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland and the United States.

40. Spirits Tequila Contains at least 51% agave
Types include Blanco, Reposado and Anejo
Named after and made in Tequila, Mexico
There is no worm
Tequilas of Various Styles
Tequila is an agave-based spirit made primarily in the area surrounding Tequila, 65 kilometres in the northwest of Guadalajara and in the highlands of the western Mexican state of Jalisco. Mexican laws state that tequila can be produced anywhere in Mexico.
The volcanic soil in the region surrounding Tequila is particularly well suited to the growing of the cactus-like blue agave, and more than 300 million of the plants are harvested there each year.
There are two basic categories of tequila: mixtos and 100% Agave. Mixtos use up to 49% of other sugars in the fermentation process, with Agave taking up the remainder. Mixtos use both glucose and fructose sugars.
With 100% agave tequila, blanco or plata is harsher with the bold flavors of the distilled agave up front, while reposado and añejo are smoother, subtler, and more complex. As with other spirits that are aged in casks, tequila takes on the flavors of the wood, while the harshness of the alcohol mellows. The major flavor distinction with 100% agave tequila is the base ingredient, which is more vegetal than grain spirits (and often more complex).
Tequila is usually bottled in one of five categories:
* blanco ("white") or plata ("silver") – white spirit, un-aged and bottled or stored immediately after distillation, or aged less than two months in oak barrels;
* oro ("gold") – un-aged "blanco" tequila, blended with rested or aged tequilas, and often with caramel coloring, sugar-based syrup, glycerin, and/or oak extract added so as to resemble aged tequila;
* reposado ("rested") – aged a minimum of two months, but less than a year in oak barrels;
* añejo ("aged" or "vintage") – aged a minimum of one year, but less than 3 years in oak barrels;
* extra añejo ("extra aged" or "ultra aged") – aged a minimum of three years in oak barrels. This category was established in March 2006.

41. Spirits Quality Premium Super Premium Sauza Blanco 1-60 days
The worm –
Although the custom is relatively recent, larvae are used frequently by several brands of mezcal to give flavor to the drink. A whole larva is deposited in the bottle, normally after having previously been cured in pure alcohol. It is not known exactly where and when the practice was originated; supposedly it was to indicate the level of toxicity of the Mescal. If the worm was present, it meant that the Mescal was safe to drink, if the worm had disintegrated, the Mescal ws rumored to be poisonous
There is nothing to support the widespread myth that the worm contains hallucinogens or aphrodisiac properties.
When a worm is included, the mezcal is known as con gusano ("with worm"). Aside from its consumption with mezcal, the maguey worm is considered a delicacy in Mexico and can be found on restaurant menus throughout the nation.
The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, since the Mexican standards authority, prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila.
