Step 2: Oder your alcohol first and your mixer second. Ifthe bartender hears juice or soda first they are assuming youjust want a juice or soda.

步骤2:先点酒再点饮料,如果调酒师听你先说果汁或苏打水,他们以为你只要果汁和苏打水。

步骤3:靠近吧台,准备现金或信用卡,意味着你准备好了点酒。

Step 4: Say what you want loudly and clearly. Youcan't say 'Whiskey and Coke.' You should tell thebartender'What type of Whiskey (Beam, Jack, Crown, MakersMark, Johnny Walker) 'Single or Double'and 'Tall orShort Glass'The proper way to order a drink is to includeall the above information with your order. For example:'

Jack and Coke, Double-Tall' or 'Absolute and Cran, Doubleshort.”or 'Tanqueray and Tonic Single-Tall.'

步骤4:大声、清晰的说话。你不能说“来点威士忌和可乐。”你必须得告诉调酒师你需要的威士忌的具体牌子,单份还是双份的,大杯子还是小杯子。正确的方式应该包括以上这些信息。比如:“杰克威士忌和可乐,双份,大杯的。”、“绝对伏特加和红莓果汁,双份,小杯的。”或者“添加利金酒和汽水,单份,大杯的。”

Step 5: Your drink may mot be made directly after youorder, the bartender is busy! They will get to your drink though,if they ask a question try to give a concise answer.
