Answer to Question 2
The amount of alcohol in a drink can be measured using several methods. The first method requires the bartender to use a small double-sided measuring device called a jigger. A standard jigger has two sides: The small side holds three-fourths () portion and the larger side holds a one and one-fourth ounce (1) portion. Another method to measure alcohol is the application of free pouringthe bartender pours a drink with a silent count synchronized to pour the correct amount into the vessel. This method allows a bartender to showcase bit more flair and exercise greater speed in the drink production process. Though without the use of the jigger, the possibility of over or under pouring becomes more concerning. The free pouring approach can work well, assuming the bartender has practiced and has developed a good sense of timing to ensure consistency.
