What is a long pour drink?

• A. A standard single serving of a drink
• B. A double portion of an alcoholic drink
• C. A limited extra portion of an alcoholic drink. Extra half margarita or 3 oz. of wine
• D. A sample size of the drink

Answer: (C)

A long pour is a limited extra portion of an alcoholic drink poured beyond the standard measure. It isn’t a full extra drink, like a double; it’s a small, controlled bump in the amount—enough to satisfy a guest a bit more without going over the house policy. That’s why examples such as an extra half margarita or about 3 oz. of wine illustrate the idea: you’re increasing the pour, but keeping it within a defined limit. This sits between the baseline serving and a full second drink. The other options describe either the standard serving, a larger-than-standard amount that would constitute a full double, or a tiny tasting portion, none of which match the intended idea of a modest, capped enhancement.
