Here's the best bartending glassware advice you'll ever get. When you have to hit an unruly customer over the head with a bottle, use a square one. It won't break and the culprit will drop like a sack of potatoes.

That works. You know what else works? Big galliano bottles, they're like baseball bats. I daydream about turning on bad customers with one of them all the time.

I bet he has like an own house just for his bar stuff and spirits

@tonemenolc Sorry to ruin your fun but square bottles are not as strong as a circular bottle.

@ToxicAsphyxiation I agree there... but if you look at it from another point of view its not important... in some people's opinion a hurricane glass is just a fancy highball with a waist and a stem... and the dizzy is nothing but a stemless cocktail class.... what he really forgot there is the mint julep cup, the Moscow mule mug and glasses with handles for hot cocktails

[thekrakenism]

Wow I really respect the man very much... Although he gave a big slap to the Brandy drinkers and their drinking culture xD but like he said... I totally agree with him

When I was working as a part-time bartender, the place I was at had a set of port glasses in the back I'd found while cleaning up. We didn't even have port, so I got them out and used them to serve mixed shots like kamikazes and such to the ladies. (Guys didn't seem to care). The guys tipped for speed and the girls tipped for show, this was just one more way to squeeze lol.

@Fred333Bramming Yeah man, he forgets hurricanes and dizzy cocktail glasses.
