Can I freeze my drinks
However, there are some things you should do. You should label every bottle so you know which bottles have been frozen. Don't fill the bottles to more than half full. A full bottle can cause your drink to overflow and spill out. Last but not least, wait at minimum two hours after opening a bottle to chill your drinks before you pour it into another container.
Why is it that people call a cocktail "a martini?"
When Americans were drinking more alcohol in the 1900s, they called every drink that contained alcohol "martini". The term "martini" eventually came to refer to a special type of martini that was made with dry rather than sweet Vermouth.

How To
How to order drinks from the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. 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.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
