Great Martini and Warning if You Want To Become a Bartender

Today I'm going to give you a standard Martini recipe and tell you a
true story about one of the funniest things I've seen in a bar.

So here is a standard martini recipe:
If you really want to stand out from the crowd I recommend
my recipe book. It's available as part of my Seven Secrets Program

Standard Martini
fill shaker with ice
pour 4 count your favorite vodka over the ice
using a barspoon stir the vodka, keeping the spoon along the shakers
edge, until the shaker turns frosty cold.
pour 1 count dry vermouth into a chilled martini glass
swirl it in the glass and discard
strain the ice cold vodka over a skewered olive into the chilled
martini glass


But...This is the martini I was serving when
that crazy thing happened to me.
(since then I have created an even better recipe, I
think it's the world's best martini)

I was serving a women who was sitting at my bar and she asked
for a third martini. Any good bartender would have noticed
that she had enough already. Martinis are very strong - be careful
and never over serve a customer. I politely informed her that I
had a 2 martini rule and had to cut her off. I offered her a
glass of water or some coffee.

Just then another customer grabbed my attention and when
she thought I wasn't looking this women stuck the empty martini
glass down her shirt! She started to walk to the door and I could
see the bulge of the glass in her tight shirt.

I started to crack up and whistled over to the bouncer
at the door. He stopped her and asked what she had in her shirt.
She said, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

The bouncer started laughing too and just let her slip out the door.
It wasn't worth making a big scene in this crowded bar over a
martini glass. But I never understood it. She looked classy
and judging by her clothes had plenty of money. I still laugh when I
picture her with that bulge in her shirt.

Sometimes I just don't get people. If you want to know how to become a bartender then consider yourself warned and check out this killer step-by-step system.
