  • At Alchemix, we suggest that every bartender and mixologist know at least 50 classic cocktails from memory.
    Here's is arguably the most common 10 that you should learn first as a beginner bartender.
    Here's the list:
    1. Old Fashioned
    2. Daiquiri
    3. Moscow Mule
    4. Negroni
    5. Bees Knees
    6. Sidecar
    7. Paloma
    8. Gimlet
    9. Mint Julep
    10. Boulivardier

      The only rule to being a successful bartender is to remember where the nearest bar is, and the next, and the next. They usually aren't far away at all.
      Your customers could have just as easily gone to any of those. Make them know they made the right decision to spend their hard earned money in your establishment.
      Appreciate it, and show it. When they keep coming back, that will be why above all else.
      The rest is knowledge and experience. And these videos help a load with the knowledge, of course. 😁

      Also, if your name is legit Ali G... I'd suggest naming a creation of yours "In Da House" at some point.
      A personal touch on the name (a reference to the movie "Ali G In Da House, if it wasn't obvious.)
      And a great talking point/way for customers to get to know you a little.
      "Why's it called In Da House?"...
      Best of luck, have fun! ✌️

    Having been a barista for 5+ years, I’ve been working closely for 2 of those years under a bartender to learn the works, but was deprived any creative freedom. Although, In two days I start a position bartending at an upscale bar in my city, I am incredibly nervous, but motivated. Informative videos like this have helped prepare me as well, thank you for sharing!

    • @Alchemix

      Ali just want you to know that comments like this are the reason why I do this. It means a lot that you are learning from us. Not having creative freedom is a issue that you will run into a lot in this world I'm afraid. but don't stress about it too much. If you love doing this than focus on learning classic cocktails and techniques and then down the line you will be able to write your ticket. Please feel free to reach out to me on Instagram if you have any questions at all. I always love helping. Link is in the about page. Cheers

    I’ve been bartending for a month or two. And I’d argue that not including a margarita is a sin. I don’t care if you bartend in LA, DC, or NYC. On any given Friday your making at least 1 margarita.

    • @plantgurugangsta7299

      Hey guys, really appreciate the insight. The truth is that most of the cocktail world's preferred Margarita's are made with 4 ingredients. Tequila, Orange Liqueur, Lime juice and Simple Syrup. That's if you don't include salt as well.
      It is important to note that the Margarita is the most popular drink in America however that's not too terribly relevant within the scope of 'Craft' Cocktail Bartending. We do love the curiosity so keep it up! Cheers.

      Hey Oleg. Thanks for the feedback. So the original Paloma was actually made with a Grapefruit Soda. But we made the (in our opinion), more natural tasting version with fresh squeezed Grapefruit juice. The most common original recipes does not call for any salt on the rim but, as always, feel free to play around with it to make it the way you like it. It's important insight that you mention so thankyou.

    I don't mean to sound like a nick pick here. You really should use tongs when adding the sugar and measure out the flavours instead of just 4 random dashes. Just saying not trying to critize or mean any distaste/harm by it.

    • @user-db9fi8lc3w
      @user-db9fi8lc3w 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Measure angostura? Its got a dash cap, each dash is pretty uniform hence why the recipes always call for “… dashes of bitters” and not a specific measurement.

      Hello Oleg, it sounds like you are referring to an old adage to 'never shake Gin' whilst making a Martini because you could "bruise" the Gin. This is a reference to over diluting, in essence, a cocktail that is mostly Spirit. This is largely true yet has certain nuances like, for example, the
      Vesper Martini. However, with a cocktail that has citrus, syrup, herbs, and any Spirit including Gin. You should absolutely shake it.
      As always your feedback is much appreciated.
