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.” - Chris
You'll learn so much, all in one place! No more scouring the internet for answers. A bar course gives you a comprehensive overview of mixology topics.
Absolutely! This is a home bar course, starting with the basics and moving you along through techniques and recipes. If you have a little experience making drinks at home, that's great. But if not, we'll teach you everything you need to know to get started.
It depends on the course, but this Bar Basics course is designed for people who are just beginning their mixology journey and requires no previous experience.
It helps if you have at least the basic equipment to get started: cocktail shaker, bar spoon, jigger, Hawthorne strainer, and fine strainer.
Bonus points for a muddler, mixing glass, and citrus peeler for garnishes.
Each course focuses on a different topic & skill set. In this Bar Basics course, we'll dive into the foundations of home mixology, different spirits on the market, cocktail families, ingredients, flavor profiles, and more.
We offer several different courses, including this Bar Basics course for people just starting out. We also have more advanced courses for pros or people looking to go pro. And then there are other courses with specific topics where it helps to have some prior knowledge but is open to all levels.
