glasses & containers for drink making
*Just thought I'd share this information for the drink makers.* There are various types of glassware of different shapes and sizes, all serving their own purpose. Learning which drinks belong to which glass is beneficial to you and the person you're serving. They receive a higher quality drink, which in turn reflects back on you. Ensure that your glassware is cleaned spotless prior to serving it. Wash glasses with warm water and a small amount of detergent (not soap), rinsing them afterwards with fresh cold water and polishing them with a suitable cloth. DrinkMixers.com
