Review "Jeffrey Morgenthaler is our kind of guy; an obsessive practitiioner of lost arts and an inventor in his own right." - from Playboy "...my favorite drinks book of the year is The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique. Mr. Morgenthaler, a well-regarded Portland, Ore.-based bartender and blogger, notes that a great cocktail requires a combination of three elements: recipe, ingredient and technique. He admits that the first two have been well-plumbed in existing books, then lasers in on the third. Just learning how to make his ingenious but simple "MacGyver Centrifuge" with cheesecloth and a salad spinner to filter fruit juices is nearly worth the cover price." - Wayne Curtis, The Wall Street Journal "An accessible but sophisticated primer that could render the rest of the cocktail library obsolete." - Library Journal About the Author Jeffrey Morgenthaler is an award-winning bartender and blogger who manages the bar at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. Martha Holmberg is the author of Modern Sauces and Crêpes.EAN: 0884942966040Package Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.8 x 1.1 inchesLanguages: English

Bar media is a great tool to learn all about bartending. They teach you about cocktails, mixology, and all things bartending. Reading can help you build a solid foundation for your bartending skills.
However, reading something can only take you so far. It's important to know the best learning method so you can become an effective and efficient bartender.
Various Ways to Become a Bartender
1. Bartending School
Administrations like these usually hand out a certificate or license after you pass the course. Both documents are valid and are used in the industry. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get certified, but you can also take college courses on hotel and restaurant management to further your business skills and knowledge.
2. Work as a Barback
If you do not have the financial means to enroll in a bartending school, you can always learn the ropes as a barback. A barback's job is to lift, clean, restock and be a bartender's assistant. You can learn from the current bartender by observing and watching them closely.
3. Work at a Restaurant
If you already have experience as a server but want to work at a bar, getting a restaurant job can help you further along with your goal. Restaurants usually hire people who are flexible and are willing to learn.
You'll find that working in a restaurant requires teamwork. Someone with bartending experience can teach you, and this will come in handy when you need to be stationed at the bar area during busy nights.
4. Mentorship
Making connections is essential; you must be willing to make friends to get further in your plans. You can learn a lot from an experienced bartender, so try to be friendly and ask if they're willing to teach you the ways of mixology.
