How to Mix Drinks: Bar Keepers' Handbook (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from How to Mix Drinks: Bar Keepers' Handbook

With these few words on the general attributes of a good bartender, we will enter upon the details of his business.

Glasses of all the various kinds should be arranged on the bench so that they will be handy when wanted. When a man steps up to the bar the bartender should at once present himself before him, and, producing a glass of ice water upon the counter, ask the customer in a polite and pleasant tone of voice what kind of liquor he wishes.

All mixed drinks should be made in full view of the purchaser, and such skill and dexterity should be used in handling the bottles, glasses, etc., as will gain the admira tion of the customer and establish the bartender as an ex pert in his profession.
