Correct Whiskey Pour

Wrong - Grab the rocks glass - drag it through the ice bin until full - grab the requested whiskey - count to four as you pour - allow for the illusion of the ice combined with whiskey to fool the customer into thinking he's getting more than he is - toss in a swizzle stick - place it in front of the customer - wait for the tip - Wrong -

Correct - Put the rocks glass on the bar - select the correct whiskey from the rack - pour the correct amount into the empty glass - add ice with the scoop until the glass is 3/4 full - place the glass in front of the customer - assuring him that he has gotten what he has ordered - don''t worry about the tip - quality service will be rewarded -

Refill - take the customer's used glass - leave seasoned ice cubes in the used glass - add whiskey - add "some" fresh ice - return glass to original position in front of customer -

No - this is not "written" in any bartender's manual that I am aware of - Yes - it was a unique pleasure to watch Walter at the Grand Havana Room prepare my Woodford Reserve and refill correctly -
