FAQ
Can I freeze my drinks?
There are some precautions to be aware of. Label all bottles so you can identify which have been frozen. Also, don't fill your bottles more than halfway. A full bottle can cause your drink to overflow and spill out. Finally, if you plan on freezing your drinks, wait at least two hours after opening the bottle before you pour the contents into another container.

A glass of wine takes between 30 and 60 minutes to chill completely. You can speed up the process by placing the bottle in the freezer for between 15 and 20 minutes before you serve it.
What are some great mixed drinks that you can order at the bar?
I would recommend an Old Fashioned. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. The original recipe called for just whiskey, sugar, and bitters.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
You could also try a Manhattan. Another great option is the Manhattan. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
What does it mean when someone declares, "I have a little too many fun?"
It indicates that someone has had too much to drink.
