virtual bartender 3 - these are the essentials

Glamour, limitless earning potential and opportunities of mingling with who's who of the society adduce a number of youngsters to the job of bartending. I have been in the restaurant and bar business for a long time, and have seen my share of mistakes.

It will be to your advantage if your bar is in an easily accessible place in the room and make sure that you have enough space behind the bar. Employers often use the no experience reason for not hiring as a polite way to end the conversation. A bartender who spends too much time attending the customers can be a problem as well, since they will either leave a big mess, or else rack up overtime hours doing things they should have been doing during their regular shift.

Most of the professional bartenders these days have lists of all possible drink combinations hidden under the bar in order for them to serve of the correct combination. Punch is often served in cups or glasses that accompany the punch bowl. The students learn the fine art of bartending behind a bar.

Hopefully these tips will help you create a mixed drink that will draw rave reviews from your guests. It really is as easy as deciding that you want to do it and taking the steps to achieve your goal.
