Well drink
Well drink
A well drink or rail drink is a type of mixed drink typically served at bars, pubs, and taverns. The term "well drink" comes from the well, a name for the location in a bar where the most commonly used liquor bottles are stored. These are usually less expensive brands that are easily accessible to the bartender.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Well drinks are made from the house liquors, which are also known as well liquors or rail liquors. These are typically the least expensive brands that the bar stocks. They are called "well" drinks because they come from the bartender's well, which is the area of the bar where the most commonly used liquors are stored for easy access. Similarly, they are called "rail" drinks because they come from the rail, which is the area of the bar where the most commonly used liquors are stored.
Components[edit | edit source]
The components of a well drink depend on the specific drink ordered. However, they typically include one or more types of liquor from the well, along with mixers such as soda, juice, or water. Some common types of well drinks include rum and coke, gin and tonic, and whiskey sour.
Quality[edit | edit source]
The quality of a well drink can vary widely depending on the quality of the well liquors used. Some bars may use lower-quality, cheaper brands for their well liquors, while others may use mid-range or even top-shelf brands. The quality of the mixers used can also affect the quality of the well drink.
