    I am the world's last barman poet.
    I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make.
    Americans getting stinking on something I stir or shake.
    The Sex on the Beach,
    The Schnapps made from peach,
    The Velvet Hammer,
    The Alabama Slammer.
    I make things with juice and froth.
    The Pink Squirrel,
    The 3-Toed Sloth.
    I make drinks so sweat and snazzy.
    The Iced Tea,
    The Kamikaze,
    The Orgasm,
    The Death Spasm,
    The Singapore Sling,
    The Ding-a-ling.
    America you're just devoted to every flavor I got.
    But if you want to get loaded,
    Why don't you just order a shot?
    Bar is OPEN!!!

    I recited this poem at my high school talent show and half way through I got beat up by the girl's basketball team.

    I became a bartender because of this film. Although I am certainly no Tom Cruise, my skills allowed me to travel around Asia doing what I loved the most for the best part of 10 yrs. Movies influence ppl, even the one's that the critics and even the actors themselves didn't think we're that great. In my top 10 of fav movies.

    my generation grew up with Cruise, first he was the horny teenager (in Risky business) like we were than he was the lady killer in Top Gun and than he was off to college and started his adult life in Cocktail, Few Good Men, The Firm etc (like we did around the same time) still being a dashing hero like in Mission Impossible.

    People joke about this today...especially industry folks...but this was actually a thing for a time. I bartended at a dance club in Atlanta for about eight months months back in the late-'90s and I was specifically asked if I could do flair stuff. I could not, but I said I could and was hired. I'm not sure how I found it, but I actually got my hands on a VHS tape that taught a lot of these moves and learned them in time for our opening night. I didn't use them all the time, but I did get to the point where spinning and flipping bottles was second nature when pouring a shot or a highball. Having thick rubber mats on the floor behind the bar is also essential since you will drop at least one bottle at some point in the night. Admittedly, when you're slammed efficiency came first. Furthermore, it was the '90s - the cocktail revolution hadn't hit. Shooters reigned supreme. There was not much craft in pouring drinks, which allowed a good deal of showmanship and some leeway in terms of sloppy drinks. Cheap amaretto, overly sweet fruit juices, and sour mix more-or-less assured that even if a particular drink was made poorly, most people wouldn't care. It is considered a dark age of drinking for a reason. Comparing then and now, I'll take a well-made drink any day over something somewhat sloppily thrown together with a lot of flair.

    I grew up on this movie as my Mom adored Tom Cruise, so in 2000, when I turned 21, my ex-boyfriend asked me what I wanted. My mind immediately when back to this scene in Cocktail.

    This movie brings back great memories. It's an ultimate 80's must watch movie. I was a teenager back then, great times. Great memories.

    I used to work at a movie theatre and I worked behind the concession. We showed this movie at our theater. So a coworker and I went to see it. For free of course.

    How 80’s can a movie be? No more than this slick little Reagan-era gem.
