While making a cocktail isn't rocket science, one must follow some basic principles to be successful. In addition to learning how to make drinks, there are several other areas of bar tending that often go unnoticed.
When the economy suffers people spend more time in bars. A student of mine became a bartender and doubled his take home income, with no previous bartending experience. Skilled bartenders are in such demand and the job possibilities are almost endless.
Get customers to the bar to purchase drinks and entertain them when they come over so you mentally force tips into your tip jar. This will get people to the bar so you can work your bartending charm. In addition the students are shown how to make and serve all of these drinks at a quick pace.
Finally you should always make sure your customers are having fun and enjoy spending their time in your bar. Customers want and expect to see a smiling face making their drinks, so have fun.
