Riverside Bartending School Blog - Grand Marnier
Grand Marnier is a Cognac (made in the Cognac region of France). Grand Marnier tastes like oranges and can be used as an upgrade for Triple Sec. The "bitter orange" taste goes well in margaritas and is usually a main ingredient in a Cadillac Margarita. Many people consume Grand Marnier neat (room temperature). There are many ways one may enjoy this wonderful libation. A few of the graduates from Riverside Bartending School were polled and they seemed to be more favorable of the shaken Grand Marnier. Perfectly shaken, the process ads about 23% ice cold water to the mix, which takes the bite out of the 80 proof liqueur.

Beer is a food product and does have a shelf life. Anheuser Busch Beers packaged in bottles and cans has a shelf life of 110 days from the born on date printed on each can and bottle of Anheuser Busch beers. Draft beer from Anheuser Busch is 50 days from the born on date.
Can & Bottled beer is pasturized. Draft Beer is not, so draft must be kept cold at all times.
Foam head is a good thing. Beer poured down the side of the glass eliminating the foam head will make the beer look flat and unappealing. It will make the beer taste gassy and will fill you up faster.
A half-barrel of beer holds 15.5 gallons and yields 154 servings. Drawing a beer down the side of the glass eliminating the foam head only will serve about 124 servings. That is a large loss in servings and profits as well.
