Whether you’re new to bartending

Whether you're new to bartending or you just want to freshen up on your skills, here are the top 10 cocktails every bartender needs to know. Let's go. Starting off with number 10, the Gin & Tonic. Don't sleep on this one. The key to this one is a 2:1 ratio. Two parts tonic to one part gin. Most bartenders drown the gin. Number nine, the Negroni. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. This is one of those bartender cocktails. Number eight, the Whiskey Sour. Sweet, tart, and always impresses every crowd. Pro tip: add an egg white and give it a shake. You'll get that perfect foamy top. Instant upgrade. Number seven, the Moscow Mule. People love the copper mug. It's an experience as much as it is a drink. Make sure you always use ginger beer, never ginger ale. Number six, the Aperol Spritz. Three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol, and a splash of soda water. Number five, the Old Fashioned. Whiskey, bitters, sugar, and an orange peel. This is one of the oldest cocktails in existence. Make this one right and people will automatically think you're a professional. Number four, the Paloma. It's kind of like the margarita's cooler cousin. Tequila, grapefruit, lime, and soda water. In my opinion, this one's much tastier than a margarita. Number three, the Mojito. Rum, lime, sugar, soda water, and mint. Number two, the Espresso Martini. Vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup. This one has completely taken over every event. The secret to this cocktail is fresh espresso. And the number one cocktail every bartender needs to know: Margarita. The single most ordered cocktail in the United States. It's only three simple ingredients: Tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, and lime juice. And those are your top 10 cocktails. This or else getting wanna behind bar.
