TOP 15 Must Know Drink Recipes to Lookup For New Bartenders

[@donniedarko1345]

He's right. Just got home from closing the bar and most of what I poured tonight was: Beer, Wine, Wiskey and mixer, Vodka and mixer, Moscow Mules, Tequila shots, gin and tonic, Fireball shots for God knows why...yuch, and the occasional Jager bomb, Scooby snack, pickle back etc. There's ALWAYS the girl who comes in and says "I dont know what I want, make me something sweet where I can't taste the alcohol". Yes, she's a college student and just turned 21! LOL.

[@dustinarroyo8005]

Donnie Darko what did you feed the bitch?

[@alfonsjones5798]

And then, what do u give her?

[@arleneramos8405]

I was that one girl when i turned 21. The bartender was AMAZING about it. Every drink was something new but all under the same sweet category. Then on one of the last ones he squinted at me and said wait a minute..I know exactly what to give you next. Came back with a drink the same color as my blouse. That was the most hilarious and sweetest(literally i guess ?) thing ever. Bet your butt he was my go to every single time I went out and made sure his tips were $$$$

[@emiliamcgrath1799]

Dustin Arroyo can I just ask why you felt the need to call her a bitch for ordering a sweet drink? :-)

[@don3465]

@@emiliamcgrath1799 maybe he knows the bitch

[@TheMcLaughlincrew]

Not a bartender anymore but for anyone (like me at the time) who was at university just looking for some extra money, it’s not hard to get a job working as a bartender, I knew nothing when I started and learned it all on the job. Don’t think you need to memorise a cocktail book cover to cover. Obviously depends where you work but your typical nightclub/bar people are just going to order double vodka lemonade or a beer

[@BartendingPro]

Agree, 100%. Thanks for sharing!

Background music way too loud

Yeah, sorry b.. There was a short period where I cut a few videos and my audio was set too high for the music. I apologize for those and have adjusted for them moving forward.

[@steveg1961]

@@BartendingPro I just wanted to give you a different perspective. This is probably because I really enjoyed the music - I didn't consider this way too loud. I enjoyed it, and found it to be, say, maybe 10% too loud. I really liked the "spirit" background it added to your presentation.

[@lisareynaga5829]

I recently got promoted before the pandemic. Started as a barista and worked my way around learning every department. I’m not a supervisor but I do not know about bartending so I feel like I’m at a disadvantage with the lack of staff. I’m just trying to learn as fast as possible on my own before my work reopens.

[@rene9298]

Great background song but it really is a little too loud to focus on what you’re actually saying

[@brocksdaddy081910]

MaywoodTender I have been bartending for a few months now and the drinks are easy once you have a system down, it’s the little things that get me. Things like cutting my own fruit since I don’t have a bar back and making sure beer and other things are stocked up. I’ve found most people know what they like to drink and know how to make it so if I get confused or don’t know how to make a drink I’ll ask the customer and they always help me out .

"Here's 15 drinks you need to know. They're just not explained in this video." Why

[@codeboy_henry]

Because the video would have been 300 minutes and we have Google

Because the key to being a successful working bartender has very little to do with memorizing recipes. Plus individual recipes are in the video description

A quick, no talkie talkie, stripped down video with all of these cocktails created in ten minutes would be ideal. Show how... and yes, totally went to the other videos and I don't have a whole day to listen to talk before hearing what I need. It's like those recipe blogs that tell you the story of how meatloaf was a special childhood memory for the author. That's great. Me, too. I'd like to get your take on the recipe now... please.

No

[@BartendingPro]

I hear ya, and that's where my new uploads have gone. But what you don't know is this in not about hearing myself talk, I'm trying to impart on you that this gig has much less to do with making drinks and so much more to do with *everything* else. But if that's what y'all want, that's what y'all will get. If sure as hell won't help you get the job, but at least you'll have a bunch of potentially useless recipes memorized. Carry on...

[@BartendingPro]

I hear ya, and thought about re shooting this... but the idea of *bartending = drink memorization* is so pervasive and ingrained (just look at the comments here) that I leave this up to further make the point. The sooner ppl realize the key to be a successful working bartender has nothing to do with memorizing drink recipes and instead focus on the customer experience and how we fit into the overall picture of the business, is when you're truly on your way to "getting it".

[@danwilson9530]

Decided to use the Internet, specifically KZbin, to learn the fundamentals of bartending over paying to attend a bartending school. I appreciate the content, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned overall is the overwhelming amount of inconsistency, from recipes (evolution of drinks, variations then interpretations) to ratios, to pour volumes, to techniques to terminology for glassware and definitions of terms. There’s more inconsistency than standards. I’ve watched several content creators present comprehensive bartending courses, and combined 75% of what they tell/teach you doesn’t match between courses. I’m left with more questions than answers. I feel like I’ll go to an interview and when quizzed on how to make a Martini, a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned my answer will be “you tell me” because my definition of how to make these traditional drinks can be wildly different from everyone else’s. I feel like I need to have a customer fill out a form to give them the version of the drink they expect. I mean, I’ve heard several very different answers to what “Straight Up” means. I’d just accept and use the most common ways all of this stuff is taught, but there seems to be no most common way for anything. Very frustrating.
