You Complete Bar Steward! – 22.08.05
Over here in the UK, it’s been a pretty nice, sunny, hot week, so I thought that this fortnight’s edition of YCBS! should have a summery feel to it.
Slammer of the Fortnight – Day in the Shade

This is the slammer version of a Cocktail called the Malibu Baybreeze. See… you learn something new every day!
A guy walks into a bar…
… with jumper cables. The bartender says, “You can come in, but don’t start anything!”

Origins / Variations
No idea where this Cocktail got its name from or was originally found. Also, there are no variations with the same name that I can find. Boooo. I might scrap this section of the column in future if the origins of many Cocktails are hard to find.
A man walks into a bar…
… and says, “Give me a beer before problems start!” Again, the man orders a beer again saying, “Give me a beer before problems start!” The bartender looks confused. This goes on for a while, and after the fifth beer the bartender is totally confused and asks the man “When are you going to pay for these beers?” The man answers, “Now the problems start!”
Last Orders…
And that’s it for another week! Sorry it might be a bit short on personal touches and things like that, but I’ve just worked a hell of a week and I just want to fire this off, take a long cool shower and crawl into bed.
If you have any questions, queries, comments or general feedback, just drop me an email. Also, if you’ve tried a cocktail or drink that you liked (say, for example, when you were out on the razz one night) but can’t remember exactly what’s in it, give me a shout and I’ll try to find out what it’s called and what the correct ingredients are.
And that’s the end of that for a fortnight. Until next time…
Cheers!
