World Bartender Day 2023: we asked them, they answered!

Happy World Bartender Day 2023 🍸 What’s the most important thing about being a Bartender?

Every day, they create, they seek perfection within their cocktails, and strive to make the bar a better place!

This World Bartender Day 2023 we thought of asking what is the most important thing about being a Bartender.

Twelve bartenders from all over the world expressed themselves about the most important thing about this beautiful and original art on World Bartender Day 2023.

One of the things that make bartending a unique profession, aside from creating great drinks, and knowing flavors to elevate our senses, is the sense of hospitality. Exchanging with people, meeting new places in the world, and making people happy through creativity.

Whether we are talking about a bartender or a mixologist, creating drinks is an exciting discipline that combines an appreciation of classic cocktails and cocktail culture with a desire to create new cocktail recipes with a forward-thinking culinary approach.

All in all, a mixologist is a bartender who specializes in the creation and execution of cocktails. Bartenders represent all aspects of our craft. Bartenders engage guests, clean glasses, sweep the floor, make cocktails, etc. They are only mixologists when needed.” – Brian Buscher, bartender, Skull’s Rainbow Room, Nashville.

At the end of the day, it does not matter if we are talking about bartenders or mixologists, they are both expected to create beautiful, well-crafted drinks.

 

Let’s celebrate World Bartender Day 2023 with the following quotes from bartenders all over the world.

 

What’s the most important thing about being a Bartender?

Personally, the most important thing in the profession is the people (guests) who come to you behind the bar. Their movements, mood, and smiles – what could be more important?

For me, the most important thing about being a bartender is all about the process. Why process? Because you can’t be a great bartender right away without a process. It can make us good/proper bartenders. Just trust the process, keep learning, and do not give up, then you will be successful.

The most important thing for me about being a bartender is sharing knowledge, and inspiring the younger generations that although being a bartender is not an easy profession it’s totally worth the hard work… And always remember to be humble no matter what we have achieved in this field. ❤️ xoxo
