they usually dont make strawberry daquiri at bars, just sit down restaurants, as strawberry daquri is a frozen drink and bartenders dont have time to make frozen drinks at a bar (believe me, I wish)
Answers:
This would depend upon what type of bar you plan on working at...
If it is a college bar/nightclub then any of the new trendy drinks
Mojito for example and of course shots (red snapper, sex on the beach, panty remover ect.)
If it is a hotel bar, or upscale bar type (country club, tennis club, ect.) then the old standards: Tom Collins, Martini, Seabreeze, Tequila Sunrise, Gimlet, Gibson and so on.
The customer base will dictate what you will need to know...
Never seen a 50 year old professional woman come up and ask for a mind eraser shooter, nor have I seen a 21 year old college student order a martini. Of course, always have your Mr. Bostons Recipe guide handy, just in case:)
