We’ve designed this course for anyone looking to start their home bartending journey. Whether you have a basic knowledge or are totally new to craft cocktails, we’ll walk you through lots of foundational info so you can start making your own drinks.
This is a comprehensive, foundational course where we won’t just teach you how to make a few cocktails but will also go over why ingredients work together (or don’t) and how to put everything together. Here’s what we’ll cover In this course:
“I started bartending because I fell in love with the craft of the cocktail and got so much satisfaction from making a great drink. But when I started trying to design my own cocktails, I struggled to find great resources to help me learn all the info I needed to make great drinks.
It took years to teach myself – but it was worth it. I’ve had opportunities to design cocktail menus, work with brands, and consult for bars and restaurants all over the world.
Now I’ve built this program to share what I’ve learned so you can get all the info in one place and enter the world of craft cocktails. Whether you have some experience already or not, you'll learn how to build your skills and gain confidence in making your own amazing drinks.”

"Craft" is a term used to describe handmade cocktails that include premium, fresh ingredients and are artfully designed. No "well" liquors or pre-made mixers here! Mixologists who specialize in craft cocktails always use high-quality ingredients and often make their own syrups and juices.
Some of the most popular craft cocktails include the Old Fashioned, Margarita, Negroni, and classic gin Martini-- all of which we'll cover in this course, plus more!
To make most classic craft cocktails, you'll want a basic but comprehensive bar tools kit: Cocktail shaker, jigger, bar spoon, Hawthorne and fine strainers. Bonus equipment includes a muddler, mixing glass with julep strainer, and cocktail picks. Fortunately, our 14-piece bar kit contains almost all of these. And of course, don't forget your glassware!
Yes, you can watch this course on a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device-- so you can watch on the go, although we recommend being near your kitchen or bar cart so you can follow along and make your cocktails as you watch.
When you purchase the Bar Basic course, you have lifetime access! Feel free to watch at your own pace, repeat certain sections, and revisit down the road when you need a refresher or want step-by-step instructions on how to make a certain cocktail.
The Bar Basics course takes an average of 3-4 hours to complete-- but if it takes you longer, don't worry! Remember, you can go at your own pace here, without pressure. We recommend pausing when you need to, revisiting information, and rewatching the course to master your cocktail techniques.
