What are the four components of a cocktail order?

sex. I thank the first contributor for their answer (sex) but, this information may also be useful...Every type of cocktail includes at least three out of the following four components: 1)Alcohol 2) Method 3) Mixing/Serving/Style 4) Garnish. When a cocktail order is given remembering these four points helps to ensure that a complete drink is returned to the guest. In regards to the alcohol, one should be sure to ask what category of alcohol is desired; as well as if there is a prefered brand of alcohol. When it come to the category of alcohol used, several cocktails over the years have split from their original base liquor. An example would be the Martini. Martinis' originally were concocted with a base of Gin. Now it is quite common that grests may want Vodka may be the desired base liquor. When it comes to the brand of alcohol used for the guests it is best to ask if a prefered brand of alcohol is desired. One person may prefer Absolute while another prefers Grey Goose.
