Globally, drinks are often measured in 'shots,' but in the Indian subcontinent, it is a peg. So, what does a peg mean in alcohol? It refers to a standard unit of volume, primarily used for measuring spirits, with variations depending on the size ordered.

The term 'neat' likely comes from the Old English word 'niot,' meaning 'not wet,' and is one of the most fundamental concepts for any bartender to understand. A neat pour is a spirit served directly from the bottle, unchilled and without any mixers or ice, allowing the drinker to experience its unadulterated flavor profile.
