Top Selling Vodka Brands in the World

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Wed, 22 May 2013 10:38:00 +0000

Vodka has commonly become the most popular liquor in the world. There are several producers, including those that have been popular since several decades and those who emerge in the market every day. Nothing, however, beats the ‘big guys’ who everyone has heard of, regardless of their drinking habits. These popular vodka brands are those that will be found in nearly every bar and in every good liquor shelf. These are also ideal for vodka cocktails and are one of the drinks which we call by name when making an order.

Grey Goose – Are you in doubt? Order Grey Goose! This is just how well this vodka brand in known. It is

one of the smoothest vodka drinks you will ever come across and is ideal for mixing. If you are trying vodka for the first time, Grey Goose is the best suggestion since it can never disappoint you. Also, if you do not see this brand in a liquor shelf, you can be assured that the liquor store is not a reputable one. If you are looking for specific varieties, La Poire, the pear-flavored vodka, is one of the bests.

Three Olives – This is one of the vodka brands that automatically challenge you to come up with something

new. You will find yourself experimenting with this smooth liquor and mixing up different cocktails. While Three Olives certainly has one of the best clear vodkas, you would also love the amazing taste of their citrus and berry flavors. In fact, you will also find unique flavors, like caffeine and tomato, which may not be found elsewhere!

Absolut – This vodka brand became popular after rigorous advertising campaigns which turned out to be

highly successful. This brand is the best for those who like a clean taste in their vodka. You would also be impressed by the innovative flavors offered by this brand. They will automatically urge you to make up your own infusions!

Van Gogh – If you are a drinker who prefers premium vodkas, you would undoubtedly be familiar with Van

Gogh. The company initially began as a Dutch distillery but has now become a popular vodka brand throughout the world. If you want to try their best flavors, you must taste the triple wheat vodka. Its surprisingly strong yet smooth flavor is one you will keep coming back to!

Chopin – Named after a famous composer, Chopin vodka is a great choice. Specifically it is a Polish potato vodka brand. Now, not everyone wants to try a potato vodka. Trying Chopin, however, can change anyone’s mind! This surprisingly flavorful vodka will not only give you a great drinking experience but will also greatly expand your palate.

As a Bartender many of you will be aware of all sorts of equipment that is required to keep bars running. Glassware and other utensils are perhaps the most important of all. Bars use and need more types glasses than typical dining rooms. Let us have a look at different sorts of glassware that one would need to serve all sorts of drinks at a bar.

Whoa! Now we can’t leave these out, can we? You will require these in bulk, these like the Beer mugs also have thicker bottoms so they can survive the slamming on the table. Whiskey can also be served in Shot glasses.

Shooter Glasses:
Used mostly for liquor Cocktails and one to five ounce shots, these are taller than the shot and whiskey glasses.

The Top Selling Beer Brands in the World

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:57:00 +0000

Throughout the world, beer is one of the most popular drinks. It is one of the alcoholic beverages that are
equally popular in people of all ages. With the continuous increase in the consumption of beer throughout the world, several new beer brands are coming into being. However, none of these have been able to beat the already established ones, which have maintained their positions in the beer market for several years now.

1. Snow

The Chinese beer brand, Snow, has beaten all other universal brands. This may come as a surprise to many, specifically because of the fact that this pale brew is not as popular in the West and it is in Eastern countries. Despite this, Snow managed to sell over 50 million barrels in 2011 alone! With the Chinese beer market growing rapidly, it has managed to beat the king of beer brands, Bud Light. In fact, it has become almost twice as popular as this formerly coveted brand.

2. Bud Light Lime

While Bud Light Lime has certainly been beaten by Snow, it still remains on the second spot in the most popular beer brands in the world. This margarita flavored drink is the most sold beer in the United States. In fact, the company managed to sell over 45 million barrels in the last year. A major reason of the popularity of Bud Light is the fact that several drinkers are now looking for sweet alternatives. Bud Light’s margarita flavor is perfect for satisfying this craving.

3. Budweiser

Among beer brands, Budweiser is the second most popular in the United States. A few years back, the company’s reputation has begun to decline. However, it is now expanding globally and has effectively entered the Chinese and the Russian market. It is now successfully back in the competition and is selling almost as well as Bud Light in America.

4. Corona Extra

This exotic drink belongs to the Mexican beer market. It recently made its way to the list of the top beer brands in the world through extensive advertising. In fact, 2012 saw Corona Extra coming up with the biggest advertising campaign ever seen for a beer brand. This successfully led to over 30 million barrels of the beer being sold worldwide.

5. Heineken

The world’s former, Heineken, had not been seen in the market since a few years now. The company had been experiencing its worst downfall, even after marketing efforts in Russia and Africa. At the beginning of 2012, however, Heineken came back into action with the news that James Bond would be sipping the drink instead of his usual vodka in Skyfall. Unsurprisingly, the sales picked up immediately even with the higher prices!

How to Serve Alcohol Responsibly: Things to check for

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Sun, 12 May 2013 07:07:00 +0000

Alcohol is sold widely over the world in almost all countries for various number of reasons. Some Meals are just incomplete without an alcoholic beverage, so is a night out with your friends. If you run an ordinary restaurant then by selling alcoholic beverages, one can have high profit margins. Many people legally obtain the liquor licenses to take advantage of the greater potential incurred by selling alcohol.

However with selling alcohol, there is great responsibility on the management’s head. They have to make sure they abide by the state laws, train their staff well and use proper hygienic methods of serving alcohol or they may face a lawsuit.

Checking ID’s s extremely essential in all sorts of bars and restaurants. If anyone restaurant is found serving alcohol to underage patron, then the restaurant will be held accountable. Check careful for fake ids by making sure there the ID actually matches the person. You can also use an electronic scanner to check ID’s.

All Bartenders and servers should be well aware when serving alcoholic beverages to guests. The guest should not be intoxicated, If he/she seems intoxicated already, don’t serve them any alcohol. You can bring them glass water and ensure that they don’t drive themselves back home.

Types of cocktails- A walk down some of the favorite cocktail recipes

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Fri, 10 May 2013 07:13:00 +0000

Cocktails are made by mixing different sorts of ingredients together. On the top of my head, those ingredients are cream, juice, soft drinks or any sort of alcoholic beverages. Cocktails can be prepared in different ways by either using a shaker or directly in the glass. There can be two types of cocktails, alcohol free cocktails or the ones with alcohol. Let us look at a few types of cocktails commonly made.

1) Collins: It is served with lemon, sugar, soda and loads of ice. Very refreshing, Collins is made using hard liquor and sometimes vodka, gin, whiskey, rum or tequila maybe added.

2) Cobblers: It is directly prepared in glass without using a shaker. Alcohol content is quite low and most of the time it is served with chopped fruit.

3) Coolers: These also have low alcohol content and use ice cubes. They are often decorated with fruits and a large amount is drunk by many.

4) Egg nogs: fermented drink or spirit is the base and is accompanied by milk, eggs and nutmeg. It is one of the few alcohols which can be served warm.

5) Flips: These are creamy cocktails made using marsala, sugar, egg yolk, rum, sherry and are usually topped by cinnamon or nutmeg.

6) Cups: These are cocktails made using siders, wine and liquors. They are served with fresh fruit cubes and are drunk in small cups.

The Basics of Preparing Cocktail-Types of Cocktails and a few pointers

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Thu, 09 May 2013 07:37:00 +0000

Cocktails can be categorized in two ways,

Short Drinks
Short Drinks contain approximately 6-14 cl. of liquids. They are pretty strong and contain a higher concentration of alcohol then the rest. Short drinks are often taken by the people as Digestive drinks.

Long Drinks
These are often enjoyed as aperitif and contain approximately 14 and 25 cl. of fluids. They contain less concentration of alcohol then the short drinks and are often used as a thirst quenching daytime beverage.

Preparing Cocktails
It is true that the number of cocktail recipes is infinite and all sorts of combinations are possible to come up with various sorts of cocktail recipes. However here a few pointers that one should keep in mind while preparing any cocktail drink.

1) Both Short and Long drink shouldn’t more than 7 cl. Of alcohol.

2) If you are following a particular cocktail recipe then always follow the order

3) Never mix more than 5 different ingredients.

4) By mixing 2 “bad” products, you can never get a good result.

5) Dairy products never combine well with fruit juices.

6) Never mix a wine based spirit like cognac with any grain based spirit like gin vodka or whisky.

Know About Martini-What is Martini?

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Wed, 08 May 2013 04:43:00 +0000

Martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth (a fortified wine flavored with aromatic herbs and spices). Martini is also a brand of Italian vermouth. Apple martini or Appletini is made with vodka and either apple juice, apple cider or apple liqueur. Remember Jimmy Buffett's "Boat Drinks?" His sister owns a restaurant called "Lulu's" in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Her recipe for a Buffett pia colada Boat Drink is to die for - try this out on your friends - or keep it to yourself. You must try this - it adds so much to the raspberry taste of this hip-to-sip drink. Put half a dozen fresh raspberries in the bottom of your chilled shaker and bruise them with your muddler. Now add the crushed ice and the afore-mentioned heavenly ingredients and shake it well. Double-strain it through a fine sieve into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh raspberries and enjoy! One of the more popular cocktails created in 1939 is Bloody Mary, which is prepared by vodka, tomato juice, and Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper and garnished with celery salt and lemon wedge. The Internet has been able to provide varied information about cocktails including the history of mixed drinks. The ingredients used in the making of such drinks differ and some have an incredible taste. People worldwide use the World Wide Web in order to find recipes for cocktails and make sure they have an awesome party. In the past, people used mostly bitter and vodka as a basic ingredient for alcohol. As time passed, various other drinks were implemented and nowadays the most popular ones are: gin, rum and whisky. Of course that there are still a lot of cocktails prepared with vodka and they are some of the most consumed drinks worldwide. Midori is a sweet muskmelon flavoured liqueur (in some parts of the world liqueur is used interchangeably with cordial) and green in colour. The drink was originally made in Japan and the name midori means green in Japanese. As Midori is extremely sweet it is usually mixed to make cocktails by mixing with lemonade, fresh lemon, lime, pineapple or orange juice. Sometimes a sour flavour is added to counter its sweetness. One such cocktail is the Supersonic Gin & Tonic. It is made with Bombay Sapphire gin, tonic and a splash of fresh lemonade. This flavorful cocktail, ideal for warm summer days, maintains the classic line of the gin & tonic while providing a modern spin, enhanced by the clean, crisp taste of Bombay Sapphire gin, long a favorite of mixologists due to its perfectly balanced flavor. Today, the brand's signature Supersonic Gin & Tonic benefits from this smooth flavor profile, while giving consumers a new reason to enjoy an old favorite.

WINE AND LIQUOR: A TASTE ENHANCER IN DRINK RECIPES

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Thu, 02 May 2013 14:49:00 +0000

Wine and liquor are often used in drink recipes today. Studies have proved that moderate consumption of wine and liquor may help you in many ways. The consumption may decrease the risk of heart disease among consumers. If they are included in right quantity in drink recipes they can also suppress the risk of death due to heart attack. Hence, it clearly indicates that their intake in moderate quantity prevents human being from heart related problems and improves heart performance.

Besides this if we add up little quantity of liquor to our beverages, we can avoid the gallstone risk. Few studies say that people who are diabetic can also use it in their drinks to avoid diabetic issues. It is also observed if such beverages are consumed in old age the can be really beneficial to improve health. Old age people can easily get rid of heart problems but if young and middle age people consume it and are moderate drinkers it may be that useful. Many companies are using wine as a secret ingredient in their recipes which not only enhance the taste of their product but also help them gain market share ultimately resulting in high profits. Lot of leading brands has gained popularity across the world because of this secret ingredient.

How to Become a Bartender - Top 10 Characteristics of Great Bartenders

noreply@blogger.com (bartenders411) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:00:00 +0000

By Dave Allred

Bartending is one of the most coveted position of the blue collar professions, which is why it isn't always easy to get in. For starters, you'll need to make sure you possess the right characteristics and skills or you can forget it. Just being aware of them can help you improve in each area so you can better your chance at getting your foot in the door. Let's take a look:

1. Personality - It keeps them coming back again and again. Think of yourself as a theatre performer. People go out to bars in for the possibility of finding something that they don't find at work every day. Do you know why personality is so important to bar owners and managers? Because the bar takes on the personality of the bartenders. Dull bartenders = dull bar. Enthusiastic, entertaining bartenders = busy bar.
2. Knowledge - It's simple: if you don't know the drinks, you're just a jackass with a cool job and a bottle opener.
3. Attentiveness - Attention to details, such as placing a bar napkin under each drink, clearing off empty glasses, and keeping guests drinks full is all about paying attention and giving supreme customer service. Imagine yourself as a personal assistant to someone very important. Every detail counts.
4. Memory - In a fast-paced, high-volume environment, you'd better be able to remember multiple drink orders so you can get them out efficiently or you will have a lot of angry guests, not to mention an unhappy bar manager.
5. Speed and Efficiency - If you have a great memory but you have no multi-tasking ability, the memory does you little good. Guests want their drinks NOW!
6. Personal Grooming - Whether the bar you work for requires full uniforms or if you are allowed to wear a t-shirt and jeans, make sure you are clean and look sharp. This isn't a John Wayne movie. No one wants a dusty, sloppy bartender any more than they want to watch a John Wayne movie.
7. Endurance - Bartending is a job that requires both mental and physical stamina. Not only do you have to know all the drinks and deal with drunken buffoons, you are often on your feet 6-10 hours per shift, depending on the hours of operation. It can wear you down if you're not prepared.
8. Good Cash Handling and Math Skills - You are part of a team back there, so if you have problems handling cash, the other bartenders will not be happy at all. Also, good math skills allow you to add up drink prices in your head so you can call out the total to guests before you even have to ring it in. Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency.
9. A Thick Skin - Remember, you are dealing with drunks all night long. Never take anything personal, and once your shift is over, leave it at the bar. Don't brood over a bad tip or the cheapskate who gave it to you for the next three days. It's pointless, and you won't survive.
10. Eye-Contact, A Great Smile and a Firm Handshake - Those three things will take you a long way in building a clientele of regulars, not top mention the best shifts from the manager.
In his revolutionary new book (now on Amazon.com), How to be a Bartender: Get a Bartending Job in 30 Days or Less With Little or No Experience, Dave Allred (TheRealBarman) has taken his fifteen years of bartending and bar management experience to provide you with a step by step plan for securing a high-paying bartending job with little or no experience.
The book shows aspiring bartenders how to set goals, lay out a plan, and write the perfect resume and cover letter that managers cannot ignore. If you want a chance at landing a high-paying job as a bartender, read Dave's book, eliminate the mistakes that prevent people from being hired, and wow bar managers in the interview.
