Every ingredient is important when trying to make the perfect mixed drink. The question I am asked the most, by a landslide, is how do I become a bartender?
For every drink that is included in the course you get a color photo complete with the kind of glassware to be used as well as the garnish. It is really hard on a person when they think they have it all figured out, as far as what their job requirements would be with a job, then once they begin, they realize they really had no idea what all their job would actually require of them, it can really be a let down when that happens. As someone said, you need one percent ability and ninety nine personality to become a bartender.
It can be nearly impossible to know every possible drink mixture, why is why most bartenders use mixing lists hidden under the bar to help them know what goes in each drink. For example, the DJ can announce that the bartender will be giving out free shots to girls that will get on the bar and dance. Have the DJ give a shot out to the bartender, this makes people remember your name and it reminds them to go to the bar and get a drink and leave at tip.
Again, find out the facts before making a commitment. Remember, a bartender is a salesman.
