In today's video we're getting back to bar basics! Here are my 5 essential tips to better your bartending! I'm addressing some questions I've received regarding citrus, glassware, storage, organization, and tasting. You may already be using some of these practices behind your bar - in which case, this will be a friendly reminder you're doing it right. For everyone else, these are eas tips to keep in mind as you expand upon your bartending skills! I appreciate the questions I get from all of you who mix along or simply enjoy the videos. Cheers to you, and happy mixing!
