Up to this point on Joe Bartender, we’ve compiled some pretty kick-ass recipes, articles and tips. But starting next week, we will be introducing a major new feature.
On Monday we will be beginning a new series: How To Be A Bartender.
This series is designed primarily for people who are interested in a bartending career. The series is designed in three phases.
- Learn the basic bartending skills (without enrolling in a bartending school)
- Landing a bartending job (the con-job method)
- Thriving as a bartender (building your clientele and increasing your tips)
Now… for the seasoned bartenders: I would like to encourage you to share your knowledge to help the newbies out. The primary reason I do this site karmic – I want to give back to the industry by helping people avoid the mistakes I made. Each article will have a threaded comments section so that newbies can ask questions and the pros can give their advice and guidance.
To make things even sweeter: I will be giving away prizes every month to the most active commenters – including some ultra-limited edition Joe Bartender t-shirts. I hope this will help build our little bartending community. At the very least it will be a lot of fun.
And don’t worry: we will still be updating with new drink recipes, Bartending videos and a new slate of Bartender interviews.
We are just getting started. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Joe.

A little esoteric but – if anyone over the age of 50 asks for a twist, use the real thing, just the peel. Under 50, use the wedge. Older people are always impressed when a younger bartender knows a real twist.
A big score for me has been slipping a couple of cocktail napkins under cellphones or PDA’s sitting on the bar. People think you’re really looking out for them.
