Are you looking for a bartender guide? There are many books and free resources on how to make drinks. Most people think learning the ingredients of drinks will make them a bartender. Well, it will make them a bartender, but it won’t necessarily make them money.

Learning to mix drinks and saying you’re a bartender is like learning the words to a song and saying you are a good singer.

There is so much more to making MONEY as a bartender.

I couldn’t find a good bartender guide when I first started. And although most bartenders no take a "course" on bartending, the money is in the people skills, not the ingredients.

If you are just looking for a list of ingredients there are many internet sites that will give you that info for free (e.g. WhatGoesInIt.com. If you are looking to learn the "art" of making money as a bartender, you don’t need a bartender guide; you need information on how to interact with customers.
