Explain how do you garnish a Manhattan? What is bourbon? What is "perfect" in a martini order?

I can't tell you the amount of times I have hired an "experienced" server, only to find out that their alcohol knowledge is horrible. I can train them, but in a full service bar or restaurant, it is so much more helpful if they come in with the proper knowledge that every server should have anyway. Asking them these questions helps me qualify them; are they the right fit for my restaurant?
