bartender mixing drinks guide

Worried that bartending needs a more hands on approach for teaching? There are many different things you, as the bartender, can remember to do each time you are bartending that could really help with improving your bartending skills, which in return your income will also improve because the happier the customers, and that means more money in your pocket. Some of the things you should already know as a bartender is of course, how to make the drinks, no matter how crazy the drinks sound, if it is what the customer wants, give it to them, and make them happy. Your bar should look nice at all times, keep the counters wiped down, empty ashtrays constantly, give refills, even without requests and always remember to communicate with the customers, make them feel as if you have known them for years.

Some bartending jobs require experience, and some do not. Bartending schools provide more than just preparation, they directly effect how much you earn from your very first day on the job. Ask how many years of experience the bartender has and of what kind.

When the glasses are placed close against each other, this method provides a very efficient method of quickly pouring the alcohol. Flair is the hardest style of bartending to perfect, taking years and years of practice. Though you will have many opportunities for intimate encounters, stay focused on your career and that you are there to make a living.

Your personality and charisma will take you very far. A bartender is a psychologist, a sociologist and a businessman all wrapped in one.
