What is a well drink?
These simple drinks can be called house drinks or well drinks. They are usually made with one to two spirits and a soft beverage. They are made with the bar’s least expensive alcohols, or well liquors.
A long, narrow bin that looks like a well is kept behind the bar.
Each bar should have their well, at minimum, stocked with an inexpensive brand of vodka, rum, gin, whiskey and tequila—along with a variety of sodas, juices, fruit garnishes and mixes to accompany them.
