Bartending

Basic Mixology and Basic Barista

Bartending
• Bartending is the process of mixing and serving drinks,
specially alcoholic beverages. Beverages are important
because they are used for refreshments, give satisfaction, are
a very good source of profit, attract customers, and provide
job opportunities such as bartenders and barmaids.
Brief History
• The history of bartending dates back to ancient times and can be
found in Roman, Greek, and even Asian societies.   Public drinking
houses, as they were called in those times (now called PUBs in
England), served as a place for people to socialize.  Before the 15th
century, the majority of bartenders were alehouse owners and female
innkeepers who brewed and produced their own liquor.
Brief History
•  In western European regions such as England, Ireland, France, and
Germany, taverns were the heart of the social world for many
professionals from investors to poets.  Bartenders and bar owners
were considered members of the economic and social elite.  They
owned property and were recognized as part of one of the wealthiest
trades of all time.  This social status of bartending was then passed on
to the New World.
Prohibition and Bartending
• Prohibition in the United States made the bartending culture stronger
than ever before in history and gave bartenders an aura of mystery
and power.  Gangsters in the mob owned social clubs and bartenders
were well paid for supplying them with the illegal substance of
alcohol.  The bartenders from the Prohibition period are credited with
creating some of the most famous cocktails that we know today, such
as Long Island Ice Tea, the Highball, and Gin and Tonic.
