So in another episode of the "HighRoller Job Chronicles", I decided to fulfill a longtime desire of mine and go to bartending school. Just started today but I'm already cracking up at my homework...WTF is a Duck Fart? And I'm supposed to memorize the ingredients for a "Russian Quaalude"? I'll update you as I find some more gems. Then I can make you fockers a drink this summer as a "certified mixologist"!!!

From my old bartending days at the Fullerton Red Onion and the Long Beach Mardi Gras...Look these two up:
1. Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall
2. Screaming Orgasm
I still can't believe people would order these straight faced. Man, the eighties were great.

High Roller, good luck you'll have fun. I went through bartending school about 7 years ago. It was a lot of fun. The drink I enjoyed making the most was one that silver sufer mentioned, but I was taught it a little bit differently. It was called a Slow Comfortable Screw, up against the wall, Mexican style, with a kiss and a pillow.
Slow Gin, Orange Juice, Galliano, Shot of Tequilla, Splash of Amaretto, topped with cream.
Any measurements for making drinks are out the door when I'm at the river. It's more like a little of this, some of that, then pass it to your drunk buddy and ask him if it taste alright, knowing damn well his taste buds are shot and probably everyone elses so who cares if it's strong when you are making it in 5 gallon jugs.

Good for you... Have some fun and meet some people.
I did a school back in the eighties. It was well worth the time. I never did get a job tending bar. Many of the students did and we all went to there new jobs and had them make us drinks.
Enjoy :p

Seperator. Seperates the mind from the body as we say. Most of the time the bartender doesn't know what it is. Do you?

Silver Surfer.........you worked at the Red Onion, do you remember a drink that had lots of rum, coconut, pineapple juice, can't remember what else..........VERY GOOD, they used to serve it in that BIG HUGE bucket with like 4 straws......if so, I'd pay ya for the recipe! :D

Some bars these days have a roll-a-dex kinda thing behind the bar with the drink recipies on it.
I learned to bartend volunteering at the Elks lodge.
Took awhile to learn because most drinks ordered were either Lucky Lager, or Old Crow on the rocks.

I forgot the Baileys...I have a friend on Long Gisland and he thinks that's the best drink ever...

Edukator, King's Rum? Is that to keep you're lantern burning or are you really drinking that varnish? I guess when you get the Pucker mixed in you can't tell the difference.
I'm getting a headache just thinking about it

That actually sounds like fun. If I had time, I would do it too. I wouldn't mind having a night job as well and make some extra cash....

Luvnlife,
The drink you had was called a volcanoe. It had all kinds of rum, probably Malibu Rum too, and all kinds of fruit juices. Just fill the bucket up and add straws. I seem to recall it had Midori too.
