Free bartending school Chapter 13 No Hangover, Please Non-alcoholic Drinks We should start by clarifying the common misunderstanding that Virgin Drinks and non- alcoholic drinks are one in the same. Not true. Virgin Drinks are simply drinks where the alcohol is excluded, for example, to make a Virgin Margarita or a Frozen Daiquiri, simply remove the alcohol from the recipe. You can apply this practice to any drink out there. Non-alcoholic drinks on the other hand are drinks specifically designed to be served without alcohol. This is not the type of point that would be the difference in you obtaining a job, but it is still the type of knowledge you should commit to memory. It is important to have a few non-alcoholic drinks up your sleeve that you can offer to a designated driver, non-drinker or child.
