My friend told me about the basic of bartending. He said, as a bartender we should know " 5 spirits " 1. Whiskey 2. Gin 3. Rum 4. Tequila 5. Vodka Those are main ingredients in mix drinks . The formula : 5 spirit + Mixers + Garnishes = mix drinks Mixers made from carbonate water, like a tonic, juices, or soda. Then you can add the garnishes , lemon , orange, mint and so on. The name of the mix drinks sometimes similar in everywhere, universal. The formula, the way they serve, kind of glasses they use. hehehe, thanks for the first lesson, sir.
