  • BASIC TECHNIQUES Creating Cocktails Can Be Straight Forward Or
    Bartender Tips, Tricks and Drink Recipes BASIC TECHNIQUES Creating cocktails can be straight forward or artistic depending on the person, their tastes and how far they want to take it. Often the first lesson of Bartending School teaches the basic skills from shaking to pouring over a spoon. Most people can easily get by with these techniques in a professional situation. When tending bar at home – it‟s a definite! Shaking Shaking is the method by which you use a cocktail shaker to mix ingredients together and chill them simultaneously. The object is to almost freeze the drink while breaking down and combining the ingredients. Normally, this is done with ice cubes added to the shaker about ¾ of the way to the top. Then pour in the ingredients, hold the shaker in both hands with one hand on top and one hand supporting the base. Give the shaker a short, sharp, snappy shake. DO NOT rock your cocktail to sleep. When water has begun to condense on the surface of the shaker, the cocktail is chilled and ready to be strained. Straining Most cocktail shakers are sold with a build-in strainer or hawthorn strainer. When a drink calls for straining, ensure you've used ice cubes, as crushed ice tends to clog the strainer of a standard shaker. If a drink is required shaken with crushed ice (i.e. Shirley Temple), it is to be served unstrained. Stirring You can stir cocktails effectively with a metal or glass rod in a mixing glass.

  • How to Open a Bar Introduction
    How To Open A Bar Introduction Opening a bar can be easier in some ways than opening a restaurant, but only if you have a smart plan. Got a great idea for a neighborhood watering hole where people stop in after work to meet friends and everyone knows each other? Or a beer recipe and hankering to start your own brew pub? A bar in some ways is easier to open and run successfully than a restaurant. But it’s not all glamor and glitz; the hours are long, and like any business, running a bar is hard work. The key is going in with your eyes open and a plan in hand. There are all kinds of bars, but not all types will be right for your area, and not all will fit your personality. You can get into the business in several different ways, too. You can buy and build from scratch, purchase a building and remodel it, lease a space and remodel, purchase a franchise or buy an existing bar. Each has its own pros and cons. This step-by-step guide will help walk you through many of the issues to consider before you begin. 1 Costs & Benefits 2 Research and Development 3 Business Planning 4 Rules & Regulations 5 Styling and Stocking the Bar 6 Final Preparations 1 1 Costs & Benefits From a cost standpoint, building from scratch is obviously the most expensive option, typically anywhere between $175,000 to $850,000. But a big sports bar or nightclub can cost upwards of several million dollars, and to a large extent the price will depend on the market you plan to operate in.
