Bartending Hints & Tips

If you want to be a bartender at home, here’s a guide to mixing drinks. Learning to make mixed drinks is not exactly rocket science. However, it is a bit of chemistry and creativity. The thing to remember is there are two types of mixed drinks. Ones that contain alcohol and ones that don’t. So whether you are learning to make mixed drinks in order to become a bartender or just learning for entertaining at home there are several relatively easy and affordable ways to go about learning to make mixed drinks. First of all if you want to learn how to make mixed drinks one of the cheaper ways to do it is to buy a recipe booklet. These can be found in any major bookstore or purchased online. These little books offer a wide variety of choices and often include pictures so you can see just how the drink should look. Now if you are looking to become a professional bartender you will want to go to school. Yes that’s correct you can go to school to become a bartender. Although it’s a lot cheaper than going to a four-year university it still will run you more than buying just a recipe booklet. But the thing to remember is that going to school to become a bartender will also show you some tricks of the trade. So in addition to learning how to make mixed drinks you will also learn how to interact with your customers. Most schools that teach bar tending skills also help you to obtain your liqueur license, which will be a requirement by whatever state, you are living in. Now in addition to learning about different liqueurs and mixers you will also need to learn some other things. First of all as a bartender you need to have the right glasses for whatever drink you will be preparing. A rum and coke is going to come in a much smaller glass than say a margarita. So making sure you have an assortment of different types of glasses is something you will need to familiarize yourself with. Obviously if you are working in a bar or restaurant all of this will be provided for you but you will still need to learn what type of glass you will use for the drink you are making.
