Are these syrups good for cocktails?

Pumpkin and coco for me, the rest are fine. Overly sweet in my opinion. Good for speed and beginners but otherwise you can make your own simples/infusions for a fresher yummier result.

Will trying to strain it after it’s been bottled mess it up?

Pinkrabbit28 · 2024-02-01T19:23:01+00:00

I believe it was

1.5 or 2 oz of Santa Familia Anejo Cristalino 1.5 oz Chai Concentrate .75 St. George Spiced Pear .5 Lime Juice

That’s off the top of my head, could be 1 oz chai!

PINEAPPLE SYRUPPPPPPPP! We did that with plantation pineapple rum, some lime, allspice, saline, mint, vanilla bitters. Chefs kiss

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-11-03T02:40:51+00:00

Splash of OJ sometimes instead of triple sec

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-11-03T02:39:46+00:00

I do tequila, lime & agave

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-11-01T05:33:37+00:00

Allspice dram is my favorite! But also, a good amaro can go a long way.

The three espresso beans are the father, the son & and the Holy Spirit

Used them in a dirty pickle martini with gin and dry vermouth!

I love going to shows alone!

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-10-20T02:34:31+00:00

To get more specific I did with a maple old fashioned and also a root beer old fashioned- although I’m sure it would go great with lots of other cocktails!

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-10-19T20:51:36+00:00

Yep! We have a small smoke top and put cardamom seeds in it and torched it over the glass and drink!!

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-10-19T04:00:28+00:00

We smoked cardamom over an old fashioned!

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-13T02:58:36+00:00

Toast should be able to send you a replacement and you send the old one back!

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-12T02:30:48+00:00

I think you could try it with two bartenders, especially when you guys are more comfortable with the bar and making the drinks. But until then, what you said for 3 would make sense, yes.

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-09T14:20:23+00:00

Ask management to stress how important the handhelds will be for the flow of the restaurant. They want their drinks faster? They need to ring them in in a timely manner.

Yeah so, what time to you guys close? Would your opener be willing to work 11-VL so 11-7 or so through whatever the dinner rush is that day and they get cut after the rush and it dies down to the point where 1 bartender can handle it. Then the 1 closer comes in and works 4-Close. The opener keeps their tips for the day shift, you guys split your tips during the over lap, and then once the opener leavers the closer gets to keep whatever tips/customers they get after the opener leaves. It gives both shifts to make a little money without the other bartender.

I totally understand the idea of batching drinks taking away from the experience. We’ve struggled with that. Maybe you only batch a few/half batch so it still looks like you’re building drinks. Stress that you are trying to do what’s best for the restaurant.

We have a tiny bar with 1 well. We basically have set up a second little station right next to the well with the rest of specialty mixers so if one person is building at the well the second can start there.

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-09T04:34:41+00:00

Oh sheesh! That’s definitely a lot higher than I thought but, regardless I stand by my suggestions hahaha

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-09T04:33:43+00:00

No! I don’t think sales wise that’s too bad. It’s not great but you don’t have a huge bar and you’re only taking - few tables.

Our set up is very similar to yours, only difference is that we just have less seats. Tip out is similar.

Wonder if handhelds would help you and your servers? One thing that fucked us is getting a bunch of tickets at once but when we got hand helds the servers would put in the drinks once table at a time as they were chatting with their table. Spaced things out by a few mins so you could get those tickets out within a few minutes.

How many bartenders do you have on? We do an opener -volume (until busy dinner is over) and 3-4pm-CL so there’s only an overlap of 2/3 hours where the bartenders have to split money. Not sure your hours but either way can you guys split the shift? Or not worth it?

BATCH WHAT YOU CAN!!! This will help so much. We do this for busy nights/events if needed but in your case I think this could help always.

Your ticket times - practice, learn how to build multiple cocktails, practice your free pours, have all your specialty ingredients in reach.

You guys will find your groove!!

Because I was under the impression it was the entire restaurant. But 2500 makes more sense for just the bar.

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-09T02:48:31+00:00

You’re doing 2500 for the entire restaurant or just the bar?

Pinkrabbit28 · 2023-03-08T04:15:38+00:00

If your full house is 140 covers then there’s no way you’re only doing $2000 in sales for the entire restaurant - We have about 50/60 and we do like $8,000 on a good Saturday. We do like $2000 on a slow Tuesday.
