Program Details

The Certification is a three-step process, including two in-depth courses and a two-part final exam.

Step 1:
Master your Ingredients

Understanding Cocktail Components

This course is much more than an “overview of ingredients.” You’ll learn about all of the different types of ingredients and products used behind the bar, their flavor profiles, and how to work with them in cocktails.

Step 2:
Master Balance & Flavor

Mixology 101

Continue to put all of the pieces together. You’ll finish this course with a deep knowledge of balance and flavor – and you’ll learn to map your cocktails out on paper before wasting valuable product.

Step 3:
Earn Your Certificate

Take the Two-Part Certification Exam

Once you have completed the course requirements, you will be able to begin the Certification Exam. The exam is made up of two parts: a multiple choice test and a practical exam.

Notes from the instructor

“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 the intricacies of balance, as well as the different kinds of sweeteners, acids, and bitter components to use in my 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 achieve a fulfilling career, leveraging your mixology skills to get your drinks on the menu and advance your career into management, consulting, and beyond.”

Bartending vs. Mixology

Bartending

Bartending is all about hospitality and the guest experience.

You make great drinks, but you also manage the atmosphere of the bar, build relationships with regulars and handle the operations of the bar while it’s open. Bartending is a skill and an art, and doing it well is both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

Mixology

Mixology is the work you do long before
the guest walks in the door.

It’s the art of creating syrups, tinctures and bitters that perfectly blend with the other ingredients you’re using in a cocktail. It’s experimenting with techniques, flavors and textures to design unique cocktails that create a memorable experience for guests.

This program does not teach bartending.

We teach Mixology.

This comprehensive program teaches everything we learned about cocktail design and technique from more than a decade working behind great cocktail bars.

It is for bartenders who want to learn the skills and techniques of Mixology so they can create original drinks for guests and get their name on the cocktail menu.

Great Course!

I loved the idea of being able to complete the mixology course at my own pace! The course was very informative, and I learned a lot from the videos, and all of the printed info, and homework that I was able to download. I also love that I can always go back, and log into the course again to watch any videos, and go over any information that I would like to review over again.
