yesterday was our cocktail practical exam.
my round this time consisted only of 3 drinks, but time includes collecting the alcohol required for the drinks from the shelf and also returning them back when we were done and washing and drying the cocktail shakers and the blender and the tongs and whatever we used. so basically the station has to look clean before the time is stopped.
i made
1 chocolate colada
1 white lady
1 sweet martini
finished in 11 minutes with only 1 mistake, which was a slightly floppy garnish for the white lady.
i was really nervous. before i started, i was pacing around, and chanting to myself the steps i had to do... so that i can finish as quickly as possible. and while making the drinks, my hands were shaking uncontrollably!!
anyway i'm really glad i got a distinction. my lecturer was really kind. :)
ill put pictures of what we normally do in beverage class before we jump behind the bar and practise making drinks soon. *ahem* tasting alcohol!! :)
I guess this is a beautiful mistake too...10:29 AM
