What does 'dry' refer to in terms of bartending?!
thanks heaps
Answers: and is there any more bartending terminology you can share with me? im a new bartender lol
thanks heaps
Dry, in terms of drinks, means not sweet. A dry wine is one that isn't sweet. A dry bar, as opposed to a wet bar, is one that doesn't have a sink. Other terms? A shot is 1.5 ounces. A "rail" drink is one made with the house, or cheapest liquor. A "well" drink is made with moderately priced liquors. "Top Shelf" is a drink made with the high end liquors. Can't think of anything else at the moment. Know the drinks that are commonly ordered, and the drinks that the "regulars" order, and you should do fine.
your NOT a new bartender you liar because you go through a 2 week course and you learn all of this stuff because dry is a basic term it means no vermouth
