  • 2. 

    Which of the following would you put a Tea Spoon of Olive Juice In.

    • In and Out Martini

    • Gibson

    • Dirty Martini

    • Dry Rob Roy

    Correct Answer
    A. Dirty Martini
    Explanation
    A Dirty Martini is a variation of a classic Martini that includes a small amount of olive juice, typically about a teaspoon. This addition of olive juice gives the cocktail a "dirty" appearance and adds a briny flavor to the drink. The other options listed, In and Out Martini, Gibson, and Dry Rob Roy, do not traditionally call for olive juice, so it would not be appropriate to add a teaspoon of olive juice to those cocktails.

    Perfect means both 1/4 oz of Dry and Sweet Vermouth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because when making a perfect cocktail, equal amounts of both dry and sweet vermouth are used, typically 1/4 oz each. This creates a balanced flavor profile, combining the herbal and bitter notes of dry vermouth with the sweeter and more aromatic qualities of sweet vermouth. By using equal amounts of both types of vermouth, the cocktail achieves the desired "perfect" balance.

    All Rob Roys have what in common?

    Correct Answer
    Scotch
    Explanation
    All Rob Roys have Scotch in common because a Rob Roy is a cocktail that is made with Scotch whisky as its main ingredient. The drink is named after the Scottish folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor, and is typically made by mixing Scotch whisky with sweet vermouth and bitters. Therefore, the correct answer is Scotch.

    Correct Answer
    A. Manhattan
    Explanation
    The given ingredients, 1/4 oz Sweet Vermouth and 1 1/2 oz Whiskey, are the classic components of a Manhattan cocktail. The addition of a cherry as a garnish further confirms this answer. The other options listed, Rob Roy, Martini, and Gibson, do not typically contain Sweet Vermouth as an ingredient, making Manhattan the correct choice.

    All Manhattans have what in common?

    Correct Answer
    Whiskey
    Explanation
    All Manhattans have whiskey in common. A Manhattan is a classic cocktail that consists of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. The whiskey is the key ingredient that gives the drink its distinct flavor and character. Without whiskey, it would not be a Manhattan. Therefore, whiskey is the common element that all Manhattans share.
