Learning bartending is so fun

#for months ive been begging the bartender at my job to teach me how to bartend #because we have a lot of downtime on our shifts together. and i like to learn new shit #and yesterday it was dead af so finslly he said 'do you want to learn to bartend?' #so he filled a bottle with water and for the first hour he just had me pour shots until i was consistently getting the right measurement #then he said 'okay were gonna make some cocktails' #and he would say 'okay a six count of vodka. a three count of triple sec. a three count of lime juice' or whatever #and i would take my little water bottle and pour it into the shaker #and then shake all of my ice water together #and he taught me like. a dry martini has dry vermouth in it. and dry vermouth is clear so it only goes into coear liquors #whereas sweet vermouth isnt coear and goes into not clear liquors. and the dofference between well and top shelf #and serving etiquette. and what a one and one is #one and ones are my fav because theyre easy. its stuff like vodka cranberry. gin and tonic. rum and coke #a shot of liquor and then fill the rest with the other stuff #he told me a bunch of stuff and not all of it stuck but he had fun teaching and i had fun listening
