You may work in a restaurant or at a bar and have to serve liquor for hours a day, but there’s something nice about going home and having your own leisurely cocktail.
First, you gotta have the proper tools like a shaker. Then there’s the liquor itself. It’s good to have the basics like vodka, gin, bourbon/whiskey, and scotch. Then add any flavorings or liqueurs that you might use regularly like triple sec or vermouth. Lastly, garnishes! Having those final touches like maraschino cherries on hand adds that feeling of drinking something special for you and your guests.

Tipping is a practice that differs from person to person. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to tip and to whom based on which service. But on the whole, people should know that many food service workers rely on the extra money to compensate for a lower base pay.
Restaurant equipment supplier Consolidated Foodservice recently came out with some interesting statistics about tippers. The best tippers: customers age 65 and older. The worst tippers: Millennials aged 18-34. Analysts attribute this lower rate to the places where younger people eat like fast casual restaurants where tips aren’t necessarily expected.
Also according to their figures, almost everyone (99.5 percent) tips their waitstaff and food delivery driver (95 percent) while far fewer tip their barista (66 percent).
Whether or not these statistics change your mind about working in food service, they’re at least interesting to see. And maybe they’ll even raise awareness about being more generous with those tips.
