How To
How to Order Drinks at the Bar Without Embarrassing Yourself
Although there are many ways to order drinks at a local bar, you need to be able to identify the drink you desire before you approach the counter. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
