Have you heard of bartending mixology and wondered whether it’s something you should explore further? Mixology classes held in reputable schools for bartending, such as The Spirit Lab, are training bar workers, students and those who would love to become a bartender in the art of top quality cocktail making. Here’s why you should delve into the world of mixology.
Bartending has evolved over the years. It’s not just about high-speed cocktail and drinks-making at a crowded bar. Craft cocktails and more artisan drinks have risen in popularity, wowing customers in luxury establishments. Mixology courses at bartender schools can help one to master the skills involved when preparing such high-quality beverages. From the recipes and mixing techniques to the way the drinks are poured, presented and garnished, every element of preparation has been tailored to the individual cocktail.
Your clientele will notice a difference between good and bad cocktails. It’s often hard to put your finger on why a cocktail is better somewhere else, but those which have been prepared by an expert mixologist will always be favoured. That’s why so many businesses, whether a new brand or an established company, are turning to bar consultancy solutions. They understand that to become the best, you need to put your customers first. This means having cocktail menus which impress, professional staff who have been trained by experts, marketing which enhances your brand and the ability to offer clients an incredible experience. We’re even hired for events to wow the crowds and help you stand out for all the right reasons.
Whether you want to learn mixology for the first time or would love to take your existing skills to the next level, the courses held at The Spirit Lab are second to none. We have won several LUX Life Awards in recent years, including The Bartending School of the Year in 2019. Our diploma is recognised in 70 countries worldwide, helping international students as well as UK bartenders to gain fantastic work abroad.
