Do you know the difference between a Margarita and a Martini?
What do you reply if the bartender asks, "On the rocks, sir?"
Here are some expressions to help you order drinks in English!
On the rocks
This means 'with ice', as in "I'll have a whisky on the rocks."
Single or Double?
This means the number of shots or measures of alcohol. You could tell the
bartender, Make it a double if you want a stronger drink.
Spirits
This is strong alcohol e.g. vodka, rum, gin, whisky, brandy, tequila.
Straight
This is alcohol with no ice or mixers added.
Mixer
Mixers are non-alcoholic drinks like soda water, cola or orange juice that
are added to spirits to make a mixed drink.
Tab
This is a bill paid at the end of the evening. You can run a tab (pay the
bill at the end of the evening) or tell the waitress, Put the drinks on my
tab.
Happy hour
This is a specified time (not always exactly one hour) when the bar sells
drinks at a discount, e.g. Happy hour is from 6pm to 8pm.
Cocktail
This is a mixed drink. Popular cocktails include Martini, Margarita or Pina
Colada.
It's my round
In many Western countries it is common to take turns for one person to buy
drinks for the whole group. The person paying will say, It's my round!
Draft
If you order beer in a bar, you can have it in a bottle or can, or have a
draft: i.e. drawn from a cask or tap.
