Hear it from the A Bar Above Community

As someone who hates online learning, I'd take this over one of those few day in-person bartending classes in a heartbeat. The way it's structured, having a video corresponding to written information below, makes it easier to feel engaged and retain more.
Aside from the nice learning system, the content itself was so inciteful and contained so many important aspects of drink making. I thought I could learn all I needed watching Youtube and Googling. However, you can't duplicate the organized curriculum this course provided on your own, especially while also getting into the same depth and detailing aspects you probably wouldn't think of.
The final project was really fun and truly made this experience feel more personal. When it was time to submit an original cocktail recipe using what we had learned about balancing a drink and methods for incorporating flavors, I felt confident with the knowledge I now have.
I created a spin on a whiskey sour, using peach, ginger, yuzu, and aquafaba (instead of egg white). The peach and ginger were incorporated into the drink with fresh produce I infused in different ways, as was also taught. You're also challenged to garnish the drink in a way that's fitting, which there is a lesson about.

The pour is perfect every time and it sits well in the hand. I do enjoy the fit and weight in my fingers for that perfect pour for a well balanced cocktail. Keep up the great work on the products you sell.

A great Old Fashion. This makes mixing perfect

Such a good bar tool. Someone already stole it on the bar

Great feel and very nice weight. Have not had a tip over and perfect balance on the shake. Will order more for sure!

I have used many pour spouts and A Bar Above are among the better brands. The rubber keeps to the spout pretty well which prevents leaking and the failure rate is lower than most brands. The only issue I've had, and it happens every now and then, is the stem in the bottle snaps. Overall a solid product

Beautiful piece of equipment

After bartending for years and wanting to advance beyond traditional bartending, I decided to pursue my mixology education and certification. I knew that through hands on experience alone, I would never learn about the things that exist beyond a small town bar inventory. I chose A Bar Above to begin my pursuit of a thorough education and understanding of spirits, and I’m glad I did because they taught me well. Through this mixology program, I was able to begin my journey by learning about the vast array of spirits, spirits which are not commonly found in small town bars. I was able to learn about the distillation practices, the differences between them, and how to utilize them in different types of cocktails. I also learned how to make my own cocktail ingredients. I plan to take the mocktails course next. Since pursuing my certification, I have started my own mobile mixology business where I create exquisite menus for events. I challenge myself regularly by creating new and innovative recipes. This cocktail pictured is my newest Spring recipe, a twist on the classic Ramos Gin Fizz, called Crema Di Fiori Gin Fizz. This cocktail blends an infusion of jasmine with lavender cream and elderflower tonic and is absolutely delicious.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mixology course. Chris is an amazing, talented and engaging instructor and the material was comprehensive and very useful. I loved the opportunity we had to practice on our own and the quizzes at the end of each session were very helpful. I would whole-heartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to upscale their mixology skills.

I’ve recently started growing my at-home bar collection - making drinks on weekends for my wife and I. While I was doing… ok - I was just blindly trying different things until my wife told me something tasted good. This course gave me the knowledge about different spirits, their expected pallet, and how to best blend the flavors together to make a good cocktail. I can now taste or ask, is it too sweet? too sour? too bitter? and know how I can work to balance that flavor out without just a blind guess. Would definitely recommend this for anyone hoping to start making their own cocktails at home!

This course is exactly what I needed as I’m looking into retirement gigs in my near future

I got this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it! Every week we’ve been making different cocktails to try out and enjoy together. It’s such a fun date night idea and over all good to have in the house for hosting! I think I might buy one for myself soon!

This course is a good overview of batching cocktails. The course offers a foundation to build on and is likely beneficial for anyone hosting a get together or event.

I’m just a novice wanting to learn how to make great cocktails for my wife and I at home. The course is easy to follow and engaging. I can’t wait to learn even more. I’m having a blast in this journey with the help from A Bar Above

Good looking nice additions to our bar

This course was useful and very applicable for large gatherings or high volume service situations. The information was easy to understand and was clearly communicated. I would have liked to have seen more data or information on how to calculate the scaling up of cocktails and more indepth discussion of how to precisely account for dilution in various situations and settings.

Great course overall

I’ve been looking forward a quality Julep strainer and finally found it at A Bar Above.
I am just a home bartender/cocktail maker but I’m sure even the most seasoned professional would be pleased with this product.
Can’t wait for the need to order more of their products.

Easy to use and very sturdy

Absolute perfection! This made my juicing job so much easier and way more effective. Thanks…I’m starting my Christmas list now!

this program helped me grow as a executive chef and has aided me in my journey

Great video, very informative. Really aides me in my career

I have taken several courses with A Bar Above and they never disappoint! The information is clear and very applicable to home entertaining as well as for the experienced bartender.

I was on the search for a quality citrus squeezer that was no made of aluminum or plastic. I was delighted to find this option, in two colors and see that it was oversized for many citrus applications! I love it and am buying another as a gift. My last one from a different brand was a plastic and stainless combo from Chef'n that only last 14 months.

This course was much more in depth than I expected. I love how three drinks were made twice—once with bottled spirits and once with handmade “bases”. I am super inspired to try my hand at making my own NA spirits! This class was really excellent.

The course content was well organized. With no prior bartending experience, I was able to feel confident in my knowledge of bartending to get started. The cocktail recipes provided were spot on and are definitely the most common of drinks ordered. I will continue my bartending education with their mixology course.
