Product Description

Bartending In One Day teaches all the skills needed to become a professional bartender or an accomplished amateur in as little as one day. Its unique training method makes learning easy and enjoyable. Bartending In One Day is an exceptional method for becoming an exceptional bartender.


From the Back Cover

On Friday afternoon, you're wondering what to do for a living. By Monday morning, you're ready to apply for a job as a professional bartender.

Bartending is an enjoyable and profitable profession. Jobs are available, they pay well, and you meet all kinds of interesting people. You've thought about it, but don't know where to start. It seems impossible to memorize all those drink recipes, let alone learn the skills and tools of the trade. And bartending schools take more time and money than you can afford.

Don't give up! Bartending in One Day can help you reach your goals simply and quickly. It is a practical guide written from experience and proven to work in the real world. It will give you all the training you need to qualify as a professional bartender in 24 hours.

How is this possible? It is because this manual uses a fundamentally different training method. Instead of simply presenting information to memorize, it uses a logical system that helps organize the way you learn and remember.

Each chapter begins with a training method to guide you through the material. Review questions at the end check what you have learned and what you may need to go back over.

Simple rules tell you exactly how much alcohol and mix to use in any drink combination - you never have to memorize quantities for individual drinks.

An easy-to-use table helps you quickly learn the drinks most commonly ordered by customers.

Related drinks with common features are grouped into "families." The logical connections among "family members" make them much easier to learn than if you try to memorize hundreds of individual, unrelated recipes in alphabetical order.

Ample illustrations familiarize you with the equipment and techniques you will be using.

The manual includes hands-on practice. You are shown how to set up a simple practice bar in your kitchen so you can get a feel for what it is actually like to prepare and serve drinks.

You can learn at your own pace. A day, a week, a month - it's up to you.

Pick up Bartending in One Day today. Tomorrow you will be ready to walk into any beverage establishment and apply for a job with confidence, knowing you qualify as a knowledgeable and skilled bartender.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy It, March 16, 2001
By Allison J. (Laguna Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I don't think there exists a better manual to teach you bartending than this one. I am a bar manager now. I lend this book to servers I am interested in promoting to bartenders. Bartending In One Day helped in so many emergencies. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is AMAZING!, June 24, 1999
I got this book as a housewarming gift. I never intended to use it. What a mistake that would have been!

After spending two weekends mixing drinks for friends, I have become an accomplished bartender. From what my friends tell me, I should charge a cover to get through my front door.

This book has brought my wife and I a lot of pleasure. We've enjoyed learning through Makboul's unique style. We've had a great time throwing parties, and we've become the talk of our social circle.

From what my friends say, I could tend bar professionaly right now and make some serious money. We just did this as a kick, and it has been fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bartending In One Day, July 1, 2000
By A Customer
I must say when I first read the title of this book I was kinda skeptical. Bartending in one day, Come on! I bought it. The truth is there is no other title that could describe this book better than this one. It really does what it says. it's a good book, woth the money.

I was about to enroll in a bartending school before I found this book. Thank you for saving me $600. I loved your way of grouping the drinks in "families". Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not the best either
This book is not what you'd expect. It still stresses memorization and is filled with good recipes. The practice tests are pretty much a joke. Read more
