What's a shaker?
A shaker is used when you want to combine more than one ingredient. The shaker comes with a strainer so you can strain any remaining solids from the mixture. It also features a lid, which helps prevent unwanted smells from escaping while it's being shaken.
How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. The proof is the measure of alcohol in a beverage. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine will have ten proofs. A 16 oz. beer would be 13 proofs, while a 40 oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.
Why are people calling a cocktail "a Martini"?
When Americans consumed more alcoholic drinks in the early 1900s they called every alcohol-containing drink a "martini". The term eventually became associated with a specific type of martini - one made with dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. You can ask your server to recommend what kind of drink you would like. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
