The Craft Of The Cocktail: Everything You Need ... |WORK|
Esposito: Event cocktail catering is definitely not for everyone. When you are bartending at a traditional brick and mortar bar, everything is set up for you. It is easy to take for granted the perks of having a kitchen, a dishwasher, running water, a barback to assist you and to do the hard work of stocking your bar, and servers to take orders and pickup glassware. Prep work needs to get done pre shift but most of the time you can do it at a leisurely pace, then once your shift starts the harder you work the more money you make in tips. Event bar service is a completely different beast.
The Craft of the Cocktail: Everything You Need ...
Not only do you have to provide great customer service to all guests but you also have to be willing to play the role of the bar back, the set up crew, and the clean up crew. Remember, everything you bring onsite needs to be unloaded set up and then broken down and reloaded out at the end of the event. At Snake Oil Cocktail, we hire staff based on personality and their ability to think on their feet. Anyone can be taught how to pour a great drink but very few can be taught how to be polite and how to play well as a team.
Released in June of 2014, The Bar Book was written to help bartenders and novice cocktail enthusiasts alike learn the proper techniques needed to craft high-quality cocktails. It was written by well-known bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler (of Clyde Common in Portland). The book gives readers in-depth examples of techniques, including creating garnishes, how to juice, carbonating cocktails, shaking and stirring. Link
