BUILD ON EACH OTHER? T his book is for beginnersthe ones who aspire to be the worlds best bartender; the ones who love it when their bartenders put their drinks on the bar boom before hitting them with a hello or a handshake.

This book is dedicated to the next generationno sifting through bar books written fifty years ago. This book is also dedicated to all of the bartenders I have worked with. They, along with my customers, brought special things to me as a person and to this book. I thank you. WHY BE A BARTENDER? WHY NOT ? Youre the little guy until you pay your dues. You have to realize what you are getting into, but .

As a bartender you make cash and connections and have unbelievably great times. You possess a skillno expensive tools necessary. Such skill empowers you to travel to distant countries and work. You could open your own pub, bar, or nightclub. You could work in Las Vegas doing flair shows, in a swanky jazz bar in New York, a strip club in Chicago, a cabaret in Tokyo, a dance club in Waikiki, a little dive bar in Los Angeles, or a little beach bar in the Bahamas. I have so many fond memories because of bartending! Countless times Ive awakened from an unbelievable night and/or morning thinking, I wonder what is going to happen todayblow jobs, birthday shots, body shots, and just plain craziness.

Just when you think youve seen it allwhy be a bartender? Youll have to decide for yourself As is the case with any craft in order for you to understand the rituals - photo 2 As is the case with any craft, in order for you to understand the rituals, signs, and symbols of bartending we need to break them down for you. In the beginning it may be hard to understand the words people are throwing at you. My first night behind the bar, I understood nothing as people asked for things neat, up, and with a back; there was even a request for fire in the hole. At one point I dropped a bottle in the trash because my hands were wet, all the while being watched by bartenders, managers, and the owner. That wasnt the worst of it. It just so happened that the most beautiful creature in the world to me at the time was staring at me, waiting for me to get off work! Arggh! Things did not go as planned.

Lets make sure you are better prepared! P ourer: measuring tool inserted into the tops of bottles.

This secures the pourer, making sure it will not pop out. Always make sure the back end of the bottle is straight up when youre pouring.

Always curl the bottle to stop the flow of liquor, keeping the bottle close to the forearm. Never let the bottle drop down so that it crashes into other bottles and breaks while you are pouring. Practice with a bottle full of water, three glasses, and a shot glass/jigger. Make sure your four counts are always the same. After you pour into the glasses check the level on all of them and then pour the water from the glass back into the jigger to make sure the amount you poured was right on the money, not under or over. If you cant get your four count to pour consistently, then you should practice more before you free pour.
