why bartend - the basics

The ideal bartender keeps more than cocktails and wine spritzers flowing. If a survey was taken of employees in the business world, a surprising number would admit to moonlighting as a bartender.

I am going to cut all the fluff and just tell you how it s done. Bartending does require some knowledge because everyone doesn't drink the same beverage and bartenders interactions with the public may depend on the type of establishments. You have to be able to think quick on your feet, another words make quick decisions.

For those who want to do a bartending course just to look like Tom Cruise in Cocktail, there s good news, many online courses include bonus video lessons that explain the fundamentals of flair bartending. Since you may not have a lot of time in mixing, you will not have time to read the labels of each bottle of liquor. A Sling is served either hot or cold and is a tall drink made of soda water, sugar, a little lemon juice and either whiskey, gin, or brandy.

It takes character and personality just to name a few other qualifications it takes to be a good bartender. If you seem more like a friend then like an applicant you will get the job.
