MODULE 3: RESTAURANT, BAR EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING TECHNIQUE

Measures or portions of Spirits

Spirits (whisky, gin, vodka, rum, etc.) must be sold in specific measures and multiples
thereof. These measures vary from country to country. The standard measure is 20 - 25ml
for a single and 40 - 50ml for a double measure. A notice should be displayed indicating
the measure being used in the establishment. Measures are also called shots or tots.

Glassware

Glassware is usually used for serving mostly cold, but sometimes hot drinks are served
as well. There are many different sizes and shapes of glasses that are used for different
drinks. There are two basic types of glassware: stemware and other glassware. Wine
glasses have stems, whereas beer glasses, whiskey glasses and soft-drink tumblers do not
have stems.
