Most Popular Drinks Every Bartender Should Know Tip from BarWhiz: Also check out our Periodic Table of Alcohol which gives great information about popular drinks Besides being able to pour a proper pint, every bartender should have a solid backing knowledge of the most popular drinks. Not every patron knows what they want to order and those that do know want it made the way it is supposed to be. #1 Cosmopolitan (aka – Cosmo) Thanks to the ladies in Sex and the City, every middle-aged woman out on the town thinks it is not a complete night until they have consumed a multitude of Cosmos. 1oz vodka ½ oz triple sec ½ oz lime juice ½ oz cranberry juice Chill a martini glass. #2 Classic Martini The martini can keep it dry or wet, clean or dirty, infused with apples or bacon. 2 ½ oz gin ¼ oz dry vermouth If someone really knows their martini, they will certainly be the first to tell you how they prefer it prepared. #3 Bloody Caesar There is a Bloody Mary and there is a Bloody Caesar. Here is my personal recipe: #4 Shirley Temple #5 Screwdriver

Nikon Officially Unleashes the Df: F-Series SLR Styling with D4 Power Inside The time has finally arrived to do away with terms like “rumored,” “soon-to-be-announced” and “expected” and replace them with the term “official” where the Nikon Df is concerned. After leaks so severe earlier today that they left nothing to the imagination, Nikon has finally unveiled its retro-styled full-frame ‘Pure Photography’ machine. For those looking for a one sentence description of the Df, one is actually pretty easy to come by: a lightweight F-Series-inspired DSLR that packs the power of the D4′s sensor and processor inside a body with the same level of weather sealing as the D800.

Un flahs off-camera de una potencia de 500W y un control remoto que llega a los 300 metros, sin cables, a batería y con TTL.
