Drinking etiquette丨What should I do in these three situations?

In high-end parties, it is inevitable to encounter some embarrassing scenes that make people feel at a loss. Of course, no one wants to be maliciously ridiculed by others, so there are some behaviors that must be absolutely avoided. Through this article, let's tackle the three "What should I do?" in drinking etiquette.

There are lipstick/food stains on the mug, what should I do?

Whether you are an elegant lady or a gentleman, it is embarrassing if the glass in front of you is not clean. How to deal with this situation?


Wrong way


1. If lipstick marks are left, do not use your own napkin to wipe the cup, you know, that is the job of the service staff.

2. Don't leave lipstick stains on all night, they look uncomfortable (maybe even a little gross).


3. Ask the waiter to change the cup every time? too unrealistic.


correct way


1. Before drinking, wipe your lips gently to remove excess lipstick or food.

 

 

After taking a sip, I found that there were still traces left:

 

1. Carefully hold the cup close to your body, about waist height, and continue to communicate naturally with others.

 

2. Gently wipe off the marks with your thumb, without staring at the cup during the whole process.

 

3. After wiping off the marks, put the cup back in place.

 

4. Wipe your thumb with a napkin. Then you can continue to enjoy dinner.

 

In this way, before drinking, there is no need to worry about lipstick.

My tea is ready, but what about the tea bags?

Many people like to drink tea in summer, and the first choice is the convenient tea bag. The etiquette that should be paid attention to when drinking tea is as follows:

 

Wrong way

 

1. If you put the tea bag in the teacup and don't take it out, the tea will become more bitter and astringent after the tea bag is over-soaked. Plus, strong tea can leave stains in your cup or on your teeth!

 

2. Do not lift the tea bag with a rope and shake the water.

 

3. Do not remove the tea bag without draining it, it will make the saucer full of water spots.

 

correct way

 

 

1. Remove the tea bag with a teaspoon and place it over the cup for easy draining.

 

2. Wrap the string around the teaspoon and tea bag, squeeze to drain.

 

3. Place the tea bag on the saucer, behind the cup.

 

4. If the tea cup does not have a matching saucer, please ask the waiter for a spare saucer.

My cocktail has a garnish, can I have it?

 

Generally, as long as the garnish of the cocktail is food, it's fine to eat, but be careful with how you serve it.

 

 

Wrong way To avoid

 

 

1. It is not advisable to use a straw to stir frantically in the wine glass to try to fish out the garnish.

 

 

2. During the drinking process, do not eat lemons and limes, which will affect the taste of the cocktail.

 

 

correct way

 

 

1. Do not eat the decorations until the cocktails are all gone.

 

2. The leftovers of the decorations should be placed on a napkin, or if you don't have a napkin, put them in a wine glass or a loaf pan. But never directly on a bare tabletop!
