Bartendering guide
The most seasoned bartenders are subject to forgetting how to make
specialty drinks. Frequently made cocktails will become ingrained in
their minds, rarer drinks are susceptible to slip from memory –
which makes having a bartendering guide necessary.
Besides providing recipes for cocktails, a bartendering guide has information
on:
• Stocking a bar
• The necessary equipment (including glasses and containers)
• Hygiene/safety
• Basic techniques for pouring drinks
Even though there are many guides available anywhere bar supplies are
sold, there are also free guides available online. When looking at online
information, make sure to search “bartending guide” instead
of “bartendering guide” – which is an incorrect term.
