Things to Consider Before Ordering a Cocktail for Yourself

Drinking is a big cultural activity almost anywhere you live which means that there are a lot of rules for how to do it right, both written and unwritten. Unfortunately, having those rules unwritten can make it hard for beginners or even people without the right connections to know what to do or how to act. In order to help out with that, and help you more fully enjoy some of the best-handcrafted cocktails in Carrollwood FL, here is a short guide to ordering cocktails whether at a bar or restaurant.

Know What You Want

It can be hard to order once you are staring at a large menu, especially if half of the names on there are unfamiliar. If you know what you want, look for that. If you are unsure, ask a friend what they recommend. Of course, one common mistake is not asking the experts, i.e. the bartender. These professionals know the drinks they make pretty well, so don’t be afraid to tell them what you are in the mood for and ask for a recommendation. The bartender may know a crowd favorite or be willing to show off the drinks they can make. Finally, you could browse the internet for suggestions about popular drinks, gathering information about flavors and ingredients to guide your choice.

Know your Tolerance

Different drinks have different strengths, so make sure you know this before ordering. If you can hold your liquor, feel free to get a stronger one. If you are unsure, it is probably better to start out with something weaker to let you feel your way. This matters for occasions as well. If you’re having a night out for the weekend, you can drink different things than if you are at a business lunch or somber occasion. Bear in mind that stronger drinks aren’t naturally “better”. The best-handcrafted cocktails in Carrollwood FL are the ones you enjoy, not the ones that get you drunk the fastest.

Confidence

If you are worried about looking cool, just try to feel confident, and don’t be afraid to admit if you don’t know something. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or information, most people love to share what they know or think so asking for advice can really help you out. Also, it doesn’t hurt to do some research beforehand.

Enjoy

Also remember, you are there to have fun, whether by yourself or with a group. If you’re worrying too much, you won’t enjoy yourself or be able to enjoy some of the best handcrafted cocktails in Carrollwood FL.
