Personal Conduct
It goes without saying that a sleek and professional look behind the bar is paramount. Smart black trousers, black shoes and a well ironed shirt are essential. Although fun should be promoted behind a bar you should always be aware of customer needs and interactions as they come first. The bartender ethos focuses thought on aspects of bar work which speeds up service.
Mixology and Flare
A good understanding of contemporary and classic cocktails is a great way to start understanding flavours and their relationships with each other. With this understanding it is a simple matter of inspiration mixed with a little trial and error to create a budding mixologist with a whole portfolio of new tasty cocktails.
