Spirit Measures & Brackets

Drink measures are devices used to measure and dispense spirits in a bar or restaurant accurately. They come in various types, including free-flow, optics, and jiggers, with different accuracy levels and flow rates.

Bar optics are dispensers that attach to bottles and measure precise quantities of spirits for each pour.

Using bar optics is a straightforward process that can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of drink service in a bar or restaurant. To use bar optics, the bartender needs to mount the optics on the wall or pubs using appropriate brackets, fill the liquor bottles that will be used with the optics, adjust the optics to dispense the desired amount of liquor for each pour, and pour the liquor into the customer's glass.

Bar optics can be used to dispense a variety of spirits, depending on the preferences of the bar or restaurant. Typically, the most common spirits that go on optics include:

• Vodka
• Gin
• Whiskey (Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, etc.)
• Rum (Light and Dark)
• Tequila
• Brandy/Cognac

These spirits are the most commonly used in cocktails and mixed drinks, making them popular choices for bar optics. Some establishments may also use optics for other spirits, such as liqueurs, schnapps, and vermouth.

It's worth noting that the specific spirits used with optics can vary depending on regional preferences, customer demand, and the establishment's menu. For example, a bar specialising in rum-based drinks may use a rum optic in addition to the familiar spirits listed above.

The decision on which spirits to put on optics is up to the pub or restaurant owner and should be based on the establishment's specific needs and preferences.

Optics brackets are essential for any pub or restaurant that uses optics. They provide a secure and convenient way to mount the optics, making it easy for bartenders to access and use them while serving customers.

Optics brackets are available in various styles and materials, from basic single optic brackets to more complex multi-optic, modular, magnetic, and rotating brackets. By selecting the right bracket for your bar's needs, you can ensure that your bartenders have easy access to the optics and can serve drinks quickly and efficiently.

A suitable optics bracket can improve your pub or restaurant's overall efficiency and customer service, making it a crucial investment for any establishment.
