Ever wondered what exactly the difference is between Scotch and Irish whiskey? Wonder no more! We’ll cover every major spirit in great depth on the course, with insights into their long and fascinating histories, how and what they’re made from and all the different styles that you can find across the world. A great bartender has a good knowledge of everything they serve in their bars.
Bartender’s need to know how to handle all sorts of tools, equipment and glassware with finesse. You’ll be introduced to the wealth of different tools of the trade and learn to use each one properly behind the bar. We’ll also cover knife technique, handling glassware properly and the importance of cleaning and hygiene.
Plus you’ll get to practice with all the important equipment and begin to master using them, with sessions on things like free pour practice and jigger techniques, so you can show off your skills when you get behind a working bar.
Learn to mix drinks like a true professional. You’ll have a great amount of time behind our practice bar mastering the classic techniques like shaking and stirring. You’ll also learn which techniques suit which types of drinks and how different styles of shaking and stirring can affect the quality and taste of drinks.
Practice expertly pouring, garnishing and serving drinks, as well as learning how the appearance of the drinks you serve is so important to the customer experience, how garnishes can affect look, flavour and aroma of drinks.
They’re called the Classics for a reason! Learning the cocktails that make up the foundation of cocktail culture is essential for anyone that wants to join the ranks of modern bartenders. You’ll learn many of the ‘principle’ cocktails, the drinks that a majority of modern cocktails are based on. This will allow you to always respond well to customers looking for the classic drinks, as well as give you the base knowledge to begin to expand your repertoire of not only classics, but modern and craft cocktails.
Understanding not just how to make the classics but where they came from and the stories behind them is one of the best things a new bartender can do to get ahead in the world of cocktails.
