Prononciation des bars et cocktails
The bar world is filled with words borrowed from French, Italian, Spanish, Gaelic, Polish, German, Japanese, and plenty of other languages that apparently never got together to discuss phonics. Even seasoned bartenders occasionally encounter a bottle and think, I know what you are—I just don't know how to say you.
This guide covers commonly mispronounced beers, spirits, cocktails, wines, brands, and bar terms using easy-to-read phonetic spellings.
For some of the real tongue-twisters, click — LISTEN to hear the word spoken in
real-world videos. Good to know: the pronunciation site allows up to 20 free uses per day before requiring a paid plan—so choose your tongue-twisters wisely.
And remember, pointing at a bottle and saying, “I'll have that one,”
is always Plan B. 😂
