Mixology and Bartending: Crafting Liquid Art with Spirit Lab London
The world of cocktails is as deep and varied as the history of the spirits themselves. Every drop tells a story, every mix echoes with tradition. As the border between the craft of bartending and the art of mixology grows ever more blurred, it’s important to understand the significance of both. At the forefront of this blended landscape, Spirit Lab London offers unparalleled insights and training...
Bartending, in its most fundamental form, revolves around making and serving drinks to customers. It’s a profession that emphasizes speed, efficiency, and customer service. Bartenders often find themselves multitasking, managing multiple orders, and ensuring that patrons have a memorable experience.
On the other hand, mixology is a sub-discipline of bartending. It focuses on the craft of mixing, inventing, and presenting cocktails. Mixologists are like the gourmet chefs of the beverage world, emphasizing precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of flavors and techniques.
