    i’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to alcohol so i often find myself standing at bars unsure what to say… when im with friends its usually something like vodka/gin w lemonade but i can’t order that when im in an office gathering. what do you order at these ‘socials’? prosecco?

      If you want to make your order quick you just ask for a house wine then they will ask white or red? If you don’t feel like alcohol ask for a lemon, lime and bitters.

        Thank you CEO. What are other popular and easy to remember drinks (not hard liqueur I guess)?

          I’ll still just go hard liquor but I’m a public servant so I don’t give a fuuuuuuuck. Or is this something not at a bar/pub? In that case: beer.

          I mostly order a sauvignon blanc, cos I really like that style. Or a house white. Lemon squash is a good one if you don’t want to do alcohol cos driving.

          Pimms and lemonade. Pimms is a low alcoholic drink made of gin.

          A shandy is a half beer half lemonade.
