Cool new approach to learning to bartend

"I really enjoyed the classroom-like environment in the DVD. I actually wanted to get up off my sofa and give it a try! The recipes at the end are really extensive and there are some cool drinks that are unique to the DVD. It's great, you can just pause it on the screen and go make it in the kitchen! What a cool way to use my DVD player."

The Best I've Seen Thus Far

"I recently delved into the world of bartending, which is an unexpectedly fun way to earn extra money. Considering that I am a non-drinker you can imagine how scary and nerve-wracking that first day was. Prior to that first day I ordered this DVD along with one other DVD, The Arts of Professional Bartending, and a small army of books. Far and away this product beat the other DVD hands down.

The learning environment is friendly, inviting, and amusing not like the other product which I felt was nonsensical and a little childish. The DVD provides information that can be used right away. The set up, a real bar, shows and explains things that ,even after working in a bar, were still unclear.It provided information on basic drink recipes, the appropriate way to 'build' and serve a drink as well as other bar vernacular that was foreign to me. Even if you already are a drinker this product will only aid in you becoming a better imbiber.

Defintely a winner for me! I still believe in the value of the classroom teaching but what better way to supplement what you learn or get it together prior to the class meetings."
