slippery. Its very easy to cut yourself doing this.

I f we hang out to a public bar, we will see the different drink come up with
different garnishes, yes it means for every drink has its own character that
match to the garnish.
There are some easy guidelines to follow when garnishing bar drink;

Liquors come in a variety of spirits and flavors that can determine
which garnish will be most appropriate. Vodka can be flavored
