Free Bartender 51/4/2024 ![]() ![]() So once you’ve practiced a while with your dominant hand, switch to your non-dominant hand, going through the same process as above. To be an effective bartender, we need to be able to do this with both hands. Repeat this step a few more times, counting outloud may help if you feel you’re not starting to get the hang of it. Then start adding a count to the pace, shooting for a quick 1, 2, 3, 4, where you stop at 1 oz as your counting “four”. The first few times, don’t really worry about counting, just try to get a feel for how long you’re pouring for. ![]() Take a bottle and pour into the measuring tool, stoping at 1 oz. And since many recipes are in 1/4oz – 1/2oz – 1 ounce increments, you can add or subtract ingredients in precise, 1/4 ounce increments. This equates to roughly 1 count = 1/4 ounce. The unofficial pouring pace is generally a four count, 1 ounce shot. With our basic setup in place, the next thing to focus on is how to get the rhythm and pace of our count correct. You want a nice snug fit, but if the fit is too loose, or too tight, you may need to find other bottles. Start by filling the empty bottles with water, then put the pour spouts in the bottles. Ok, so with our tools in place lets get into it! – Water (don’t start with real liquor, you’ll just end up spilling it all over the place, or worse, drink it and give yourself one helluva hangover). – Empty bottles (nearly any size liquor, wine, or even beer bottles are the correct size for the pour spouts to fit) – Measuring device ( two measure jigger or marked shot glass are usually best) The rest of this post is dedicated to explaining the basics this skill, and how if you are so inclined, can practice this at home and be able to pour perfectly yourself, in 5-10 minutes.īefore we get started, there area few things you need: This is the skill of the “free pour”, the ability for someone like a bartender, or you, to be able to pour without using any measuring device, and know exactly how much liquid is poured. While there are many skilled nuances involved here (which are discussed on other posts and pages of this website) to be a working bartender, for the purpose of this post, we will argue the most fundamental skill being exercised in this scene is the ability of the bartender to pour alcohol freely with one or multiple bottles, using either hand with extremely accuracy. They throw it down in front of you with a napkin and a smile and ask “would you like to open a tab”? ![]() You watch as they take three orders at once while at the same time pouring the perfect amount of liquor with one hand and adding a mixer, straw, or garnish with the other. Update 2.5 also adds a number of new features the most significant being the fact that AirBuddy will now work with non-Apple or Beats devices when they are connected to the Mac.įor a one-time fee of $9.99 / £10.99 / AU$ 11.99, AirBuddy expands how you can connect your wireless Apple devices to your Mac without simply connecting and disconnecting them from the Bluetooth menu.You know the scene… Crowded bar, people 3 rows deep waiting to order their drinks, an edgy and strangely luring bartender moving with the precision and anticipation of their surroundings you’d swear them a Jedi. You can change the noise cancellation setting through a keyboard shortcut or connect them to a nearby device without you doing anything else. There are also other helpful features once these are connected to your Mac. ![]() They do need to be connected to your Mac first, but after this one-time requirement, they’ll show. This is where AirBuddy 2 comes in.Ĭreated by Gui Rambo, the app allows you to easily check the battery status of your AirPods by clicking the AirPods case on your menu bar, which will display the status of your devices. Alongside this, it can be a challenge in connecting your AirPods peripheral to your Mac, as there are moments where they’ll connect to your iPhone without realizing it.
