goooooooooood morning campers and welcome to trash tuesday. just like a comet it’s here now and who knows when it’ll be back again so give it all you got
show me those brain worms and let’s have some fun
“Home bartending” for yourself and your gf is not bartending. It’s making drinks. Making drinks is cool! You can do some cool stuff. it’s not bartending
The version of this that drives me nuts is when someone offers a "bartending class" thats a mixology class unless you're teaching people how not to cry while they dig themselves out of a 20 ticket deep hole after their co-tender leaves for their ten and never comes back
Mixology IS a thing. I have taken one of those courses! But nine times out of 10 I've been able to make a better bartender out of a busser or disher who knows how to hustle than some dude who paid $500 for a mixology class
I can make syrups and cocktails in my home like a little mad scientist flipping the bird to OSHA. I do not have the fortitude to manage a whole-ass Monster Mash. Mixology ≠ bartending!
I was a working bartender for years and I never really felt like I was a mixologist. Im more of a "ham and egger". I know the classics, and can improvise in a flash but mostly I'm here for keeping things moving and getting drinks out.
