Non-alcoholic ingredients

These beverages can be made with botanical ingredients or can be mixed with alcoholic drinks for a refreshing and healthy cocktail. Non-alcoholic drinks are not boring, as they have an array of complementary flavors that make them a perfect addition to any party.
Mixes

Other juices that are popular include tomato, lime, and pineapple. However, fresh juices are generally more expensive. Before you start mixing drinks, you need to know what kind of alcohol you want to use.
Glasses
You can find many styles of cocktail glasses. The most common of these are flute glasses. They are easily recognizable and are a favorite among those who enjoy mimosas. These glasses are fragile and should only be used with drinks that are strong in aromas, such as cocktails. They are also not the best choice for quick shots, since they do not have as much surface area for the CO2 to escape.
Mugs
A bar or restaurant cannot be complete without a good selection of Mugs to serve your drinks. Hot drinks can be served in mugs such as coffee and tea. A clear glass Irish coffee mug, for example, is the traditional drink vessel for this drink. You also have the option of tiki cups, which feature tropical or Polynesian designs. Additionally to drinking out of a tikimug, you can also decorate it with colorful swizzlesticks or decorative umbrellas.

Now, nearly 40 states permit bartenders to sell to-go cocktails.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
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. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. You won't have to embarrass your server by asking for recommendations.
This method involves speaking with your server and telling them what type of drink you want. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. If you want Budweiser, for example, you might say "a Budweiser." Next tell your server the size you prefer (e.g. small, medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
