BARTENDER'S PREP LIST HI - WE ARE EQUAL PARTS COCKTAIL COMPANY We are excited to share our passion for craft cocktails and hospitality with you! We’re going to use some fresh ingredients and whatever you have lying around in your liquor cabinet to make (and, of course, drink!) some delicious cocktails! FIRST THINGS FIRST A great cocktail can (and usually, should) be made with as few as three or four ingredients. The most common household items that will yield a wide array of choices are: citrus juice (from lemons or limes) and sugar (white, raw, maple syrup, agave nectar, honey, etc). With even just one from each of these categories, you’ll be sitting pretty. ...more on sugar in a bit. THE BOOZE For spirits, we’ll be drinking something fabulous whether we’re reaching for gin, rum, tequila, vodka, aquavit, whiskey…the list goes on. THE TOOLS All you’ll need to start mixing is a cocktail shaker (or mason jar with lid, or protein shake bottle), a mixing glass (or pint glass), a barspoon (or a sturdy straw, or a chopstick), a cocktail strainer (or any sort of small sieve or slotted spoon), a jigger (or a tablespoon and a 1/4 cup measure) and a small knife & cutting board. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO AHEAD OF TIME? Have a few lemons or limes, and an orange on hand. As for that sugar…make some simple syrup a day or two ahead of the event. It really is simple, too! Equal parts sugar and water. Take a cup of sugar and a cup of water (this will be enough for a handful of cocktails) and heat gently on the stove just enough to dissolve the sugar, and then jar it up and toss it in the fridge. Do not let it simmer for several minutes, as you will lose too much water due to evaporation. If you don’t have cocktail bitters, and don’t want to buy some…you could make some! Mix pinches of cinnamon, allspice, anise, and/or clove with grated orange peel and diced prunes in 2oz vodka. Let steep as along as possible. Strain through a coffee filter and you’ve got ‘pantry bitters’! Lastly, ice. In order to properly chill & dilute a cocktail, we’ll need plenty of ice. PRO TIPS Are you a tea lover? Try making a strong cup of your favorite tea and mix it 1 to 1 with sugar and you’ve got yourself a unique new syrup to substitute into your cocktail! Same goes for items such as coffee or apple cider…make some fun syrups! If you have honey on hand, mix it 1 to 1 with hot water. This will yield a syrup that is the proper sweetness for cocktails, and it will also mix nicely into the cocktail - rather than thickening upon contact with ice. Honey alone is too viscous for cocktail making. HANDY CONVERSIONS FOR HOME BARTENDING 2 oz = 1/4 cup 1.5 oz = 3 tablespoons 1 oz = 2 tablespoons 3/4 oz = 1.5 tablespoons 1/2 oz = 1 tablespoon 1/4 oz = 1/2 tablespoon.

INTRODUCTION “So a Guy Walks Into a Bar and Asks the Bartender…..”
Bartender Tips, Tricks and Drink Recipes INTRODUCTION “So a guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender…..” How many jokes have you heard start out that way. The bartender is the main focus of any commercial bar. Forget about the waitresses. Sure they bring the drinks, but the bartender has to make them. Forget about the fry cooks serving up greasy fries. It‟s the bartender who has made you crave them. Bartenders have enjoyed a long and storied history. They are the psychiatrists that you don‟t have to have an appointment for. They are the ones you hear all the best jokes from. They are the ones who show you the neatest bar tricks to impress your friends. The bartender, for some people, is the best friend they never had. Tending bar is more than just pouring a cold draught beer or mixing up a mean screwdriver. With all the new drink combinations out these days, bartenders must be up on all the new terminology not to mention having the ability to mix up an Alabama Slammer without looking in the recipe book. Bartending schools are popping up all over the country. Lured by the enticement of cash tips for serving the drunken public, bartending has been elevated to an art form. When the movie “Cocktail” came out, bartenders sought out the ability to twirl bottles and throw them up in the air as the bottle pours a perfect shot before it lands softly in their hand. Few can argue this is something not the everyday Joe can do.

Bartender Job Analysis for the Pub*
Bartender Job Analysis for the Pub* By Michelle Allen Sean Enright Nathan Jansch Daniel Lehmann Greg Schaefer Note: This was an excellent paper at its time, but many of the requirements have since changed a bit. So look at it for general ideas, but not for details. Management 4020 Professor Rossé December 7, 1999 * Not really the name of the establishment xxxxxx Pub xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80302 Dear Mr. xxxxxx, Thank you for allowing us to complete a job analysis on the bartender position at the Pub. We have all learned some very valuable information about the hiring process this semester in our hiring class at CU, and your allowing us to evaluate the bartender position has greatly aided in that learning process. The bartending position at the Pub restaurant and bar requires a number of critical attributes and skills in to properly fulfill the restaurant’s desire to serve its guests. Because of the relatively small size of the restaurant and high demand on restaurant’s services, the bartending position requires a fully competent and capable person to fill the position. With a wide array of potential responsibilities, and because of the Pub’s desire to serve their patrons in the best manner possible, we have developed a system to better identify bartending candidates for this establishment. Rather than basing the application review process solely upon interviews (which is a common hiring method), this system incorporates a number of components in order to obtain a complete and accurate assessment of potential bartending employees. This system utilizes the best elements of an application, interviews, work samples, and other review elements to select the best applicants for the job.

BAR BASICS EQUIPMENT The right tools make mixing drinks easier, but some tasks simply can’t be done without the right gizmo. Boston Shaker Two-piece set comprised of a 16-ounce mixing glass and a slightly larger metal container that acts as a cover for the mixing glass when shak- ing cocktails. The mixing glass can be used alone for stirring drinks that aren’t shaken. This is the shaker of choice for professional bartenders. Barspoon Long-handled shallow spoon with a twisted handle, used for a number of bartending techniques beyond stirring. The handle’s curves help rotate the spoon during stirring, and the spoon bowl guides poured liqueurs into position for layered drinks. Hawthorne Strainer Perforated metal strainer for the metal half of a Boston shaker, held in place by a wire coil. Julep Strainer Perforated spoon-shaped strainer used in conjunction with a mixing glass. Cocktail Shaker Two-part container with a tight- ﬁ tting lid. While styles vary widely, the most com- mon shaker (also called a cobbler) has a top with a COPYRIGHTEDbuilt-in lidded spout that serves MATERIAL as a strainer. The metal Parisian-style shaker, preferred by many home bartenders, has a sleek Art Deco look, lacks the top spout, and must be used in conjunction with a Hawthorne strainer. cc01.indd01.indd 1 004/08/114/08/11 77:41:41 AAMM 2 MR. BOSTON: Ofﬁ cial Bartender’s Guide Electric Blender Absolutely necessary to make frozen drinks, puree fruit, and even crush ice for certain reci- pes. Choose a top-quality blender with a heavy base, as lightweight blenders tend to “walk” when blending thick mixtures.

Bar Tools the Bartender’S Best Friends Behind the Stick by Brandy Rand
TOOLSOFTHETRADE Bar Tools The bartender’s best friends behind the stick BY BRANDY RAND We asked the country’s busiest bartenders to give us their must-have bar tools—easy to use, sturdy enough to withstand the weekend slam, and functionally superior to the basics. Here are some of their favorite items so you can pour, measure, muddle, stir, shake, strain and squeeze with ease. 2 1. KORIKO WEIGHTED MIXING TIN 1 Though there are a thousand shakers on the market, these earn high praise from bartenders for a big performance: self-sealing, no sticking and a high velocity (and noisy) shake. The small is 18 ounces and large is 28; and because they are stainless steel, durability is a done deal. 3 $7.95 for small, $8.95 for large at cocktailkingdom.com 2. PUG! MUDDLER Despite the proliferation of plastic and metal muddlers, most bartend- ers agree that an un-varnished wooden one is the way to go. PUG! muddlers are deemed some of the best as they are handmade and available in a variety of hardwoods: maple, cherry and jatoba. $40 at thebostonshaker.com 3. OXO MINI ANGLED MEASURING CUP A “why didn’t anyone do this sooner” measuring cup that has cocktail- size ounce, milliliter and tablespoon measurements on the inside so you can read from the top as you pour. The angled spout eliminates 4 spills and clear plastic with brightly colored markings makes it easy to read in dimly lit bars. $3.99 at oxo.com 5 4. RSVP ENDURANCE LEMON & LIME SQUEEZER It’s all in the squeeze with a handle ergonomically designed to provide leverage for a good juicing.
