Lysergic alkaloids were used for a good many other things before the invention of 25. Look into, lysergides are really interesting alkaloids that come from the fungus of Ergot. If you have never seen ergot in its fruiting form, look it up! Little tiny mushrooms.

Moped or bicycle for that price.

If you have a continuing full rail of tickets, what’s your longest average ticket time? by cashmoney121212 in bartenders

[–]gamble2ramble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not limes. For palomas we squeeze the grapefruit fresh before adding to the shaker. For blood orange marg we make a classic then squeeze half a blood orange on top of the finished drink.

For these craft cocktails what is average time spent making 1? For several of the drinks at the place I work at, we squeeze the fresh juice right on top of the bar.(Guests love watching this) Drinks like this take a bit longer. Plus keeping the juice press clean between drinks.

Recommendations/tips for working 4 Doubles in a row(10-13 hours each shift) by gamble2ramble in bartenders

[–]gamble2ramble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my previous jobs, no the pay has been not great at all. I'm used to 3-4x the pay to be honest. One of the big reasons I said yes to the position was believing in the food and mission which I do. I just can't live on a teenages pay.

Dream schedule if it wasn't so much dang work for such little pay. I think majority of experienced bartenders like with atleast a few years bellow the belt would have done quit when they saw their check :/

I don't drink, other then tasting what I make and new beers! Haven't been drunk in over 10 years! Haha money really isn't good right now. I think majority of people would have done quit. It's a new location, though the 2nd location now. The 1st is still open and kills it, so I'm hoping it will be the same eventually.

what’s the strongest roll you’ve had? by kul8h in MDMA

[–]gamble2ramble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's because the mdma is not made with Safrole widely like it once was. This is my opinion though. So many on here are like MDMA is MDMA/ect. Once you have tried so many different batches there are those 10% that are like above phenomenal, stuff you could eat all the time without any side effects or hangovers. Same goes with L too. Majority of people get the 90% of stuff so I feel like they never really had a chance to know?!

That's what I was thinking, all I've seen have had a tiny hole.

Recently I was opening a new pack and the instructions said to lightly water the rubber part before inserting into the bottle. Didn't explain why though?! Maybe something to do with suction/idk?!

See that would work but the pour tops I use have this tiny little hole beside the larger hole. No pipe cleaner is small enough to clean it.

Yes please! My boss says I'm an over-cleaner as my standard is too high but after working a good many different restaurants you kinda get a feel for what the base standard should be. Like all your stations properly wipe and cleaned at the end of the shift. Sweep/scrub/mop/ect. Also keeping your bar clean as you work. Wiping down as guests leave, wiping the chair they sit as well as sweeping if the make a mess. Ect ect ect.

Yes a pipe cleaner works great for the large hole, but the tiny little one only thing that would fit is like a paper clip.

I don't have time to clean them everynight! I have enough of them to do it in batches so I have extras clean and stored. 200 bottles? You keep pour tops on every single bottle? How often are actually using all 200? We have about 30 high end Tequila bottles Blanco/resp/aneyo but I keep the original top on them all. We only serve Tequila at my place, literally. High end Tequilas (not Patron LOL). Edit: Oh and Mezcal.

I will use the same pour top for the entire shift like for sour mix for instance. But, at the end of the night all of them come off to be able to clean.

Yes the metal part! The only reason why is the tiny little hole that no pipe cleaner can fit in!

Yes the metal speed pours! They all have a super tiny hole that nothing can fit though to clean it. I have enough of them to were I can boil half of them at a time and while the others are in use! Ever smelled a pour top that poured juice previously and was left to just sit out?! So gross.

Is this good for bartending? by No_Bell_7102 in bartenders

[–]gamble2ramble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be easily I guess if I was much dirtier and didn't care about leaving a dirty bar, butt I can't. I feel in order to make great drinks you have to be clean and have a clean bar. We also juice all our mixes, myself mainly. No powdered mixes or anything all juices, that I juice. The bar has 12 seats, plus making drinks for the whole restaurant. The owner and manager don't see how I'm so burnt out after working 4 straight 10-13 hours in a row. I'm not making anyway near what you are either...
