other end of the bar, maybe find a place closer to stock another)
• Zone Bartending

the bar the bar runs efficiently. Once you start crossing over each

3. Working the Bar
• Bar Terms
• Neat – Straight up, no ice, room temperature (Out of the bottle into the
glass)
• UP – No ice – Generally Chilled (some people don’t know, so if they ask
for a brown liquor, they probably mean neat)
• Rocks – Served over ice
• Over – Served over ice
• Back – Short serving of a mixer to go with a drink on the rocks or a shot or
martini (no charge)
• Muddle – Crush or smash together ingredients in a glass, to extract
natural oils of fruit, before mixing drink on top.

9. Tangerine Bartender Training
• Lemonade (from a British guest) – Sprite
• Build – Style of drink making where you pour ingredients in glass without
shaking or mixing up ingredients
• Rolling – Style of drink making where ingredients are poured then mixed
by pouring from the glass to the tin and back or tin to tin.
• Layering – Pouring ingredients into a glass slowly, heavier liquors first
then lighter liquors. Lighter liquor will sit (Layer) on top of heavier liquor.
This can be made easier using a bar spoon or a cherry
• Dry (When referring to a martini) – Less, if any, Vermouth
• Perfect – Both sweet & dry vermouth
• Splash – If someone orders a whiskey, bourbon or scotch they want a
splash of water
• Dirty – Add Olive Juice
• Muddy – Very dirty
• Simple rules to working efficiently behind the bar
• Keep your head
• We are going to get very busy, especially when we open.
• This is your bar, don’t let them intimidate you, don’t get overwhelmed.
• All you can do is your best.
• Think one step ahead
• If you know your next move, you won’t have moments when you aren’t
doing anything.
• Know your bar
• When you need something, finding it should be a reaction, not a thought.
If you need to search for something, you are wasting valuable times.
• Remember, the more you pour the more you score, basically the more
drinks you can serve, the more money everyone is going to make.
• Move efficiently
• USE TWO HANDS
• Don’t be one-armed bandits behind the bar. No dead hands always use
two hands.
• Don’t use wasted moves.
• If you have to go to the back bar for an order for two things, get them both
at the same time, don’t go twice.
• Move safely ( We are going to have a lot of people behind the bar, this is
very important
• When moving behind a fellow bartender, let them know you are there.
This will eliminate accidents. This can be done by either:
• Saying BEHIND, loud enough for them to hear you.
• TAPPING them lightly on the back to show them you are there.
• Bar Eyes & Ears
• Be observant to the guests at the bar. If you are busy, just making eye
contact with a guest to signify you know they are there will help to
appease that person until you do get to them. It will also help you know
who at the bar needs drinks.

10. Tangerine Bartender Training
• Clean as you go
• Clean the bar as you work. When you greet the guest at the bar, clean up
the area they are in.
• Clean & reset your tools (tins) as you go.
• Empty ashtrays as you go. Never more than two butts.
• Taking orders
• Try to get the whole order at once (Sometimes harder than it sounds,
many people order one at a time)
• Once you get order, ice up all tins or glassware at once.
o This will not only be faster, but will help you remember the bigger
orders.
• Add total of the order in your head as you go. Even if you can not be
exact, even an over estimate will help you get the transaction over faster
than going to the register, ringing it up, then going back to the guest and
quoting them the price.
• Drink Making
• First thing in making a quality drink is the ICE.
o Glasses should be packed full to the top.
o We have a standard pour, that doesn’t change because there is
less ice. So, less ice means more mix, thus weaker tasting drink.
Also less ice means the drink will not be as cold, again resulting in
quicker meltdown.
• All multiple liquor drinks that are served in a Collins glass are to be
shaken.
o LIT type drinks should be shaken with liquor and juice then topped
with soda.
2. Pouring
• Tangerine House Pours
• Standard pour - 1 ¼ ounce (Vodka / Tonic, Rum / Coke, etc …)
• Straight pour - 1 ½ ounce (Shot of Jager, Jack on the Rocks , Cognac)
• Martini pour – 3 ounces
• Up charge (Listed above under pricing)
• Double – ¾ ounce
• Up charge ($3.00)
• Multiple liquor pours are maximum of 2 ounces
• Using this method of counting you pour any amount beginning at ¼ of an
ounce up to any amount accurately.
• Each ¼ of an ounce = 1 count
• ¼ ounce = 1 count
• ½ ounce = 2 count
• ¾ ounce = 3 count
• 1 ounce = 4 count
• 1 ¼ ounce = 5 count
• 1 ½ ounce = 6 count

11. Tangerine Bartender Training
• 2 ounces = 8 count
• 3 ounces = 12 count
• How to count
• Establish your own method of counting.
• Several ways, whatever works best for you is the right way as long as it is
consistent. The only way to be consistent is to practice.
