Ever sit at a bar and watch a bartender performing their wizardry? I can teach you some of the tricks. We start out talking about bar tools, terms, and techniques. Then we are taking a look at the spirits families, what makes them different and some of what goes into making them. I'll talk about some cocktails you might come across and how to order what you actually want. I will get into glassware, garnishes, and what I think you should know! I should note that I discuss basic techniques with basic tools, I don't dive very deep into mixology or twenty step cocktails and this is not brand specific so I don't get into the differences!
