THE SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL OF BARTENDING What do you actually learn here? “I like that they throw you right behind the bar”, “Grabbing your Vodka, Gin, Rum, Triple Sec.” “You get into it right away.” Lots of it is hands on motion and muscle memory. Moving like a bartendier. We have lots of drills here for you so that you make a lot of drinks in a short period of time. The practicalities that are unique to bartending become second nature to you.

So you can take our curriculum and go whatever direction you want with it. “One of the good things the school provided me with was the mixology class, which really intrigued me and got me into the history of mixology & basically into cocktail bartending where I’m at now”. “Infusion is basically the new hottest night club.

www.midori-world.com Perfect cocktail for bar (ingredients) MIDORI?triple sec?vodka?lemon juice?pineapple juice High alcoholic content sweet flavor with shot glass This cocktail is a product of the shooters fad that began in the 1990s. As its name suggests, the MIDORI Illusion Shaker lures he who drinks it into a world shrouded in illusion and mystery. The recipe here calls for a double shot of MIDORI, but this amount makes enough to fill several large shot glasses, so after showing off your skills with the Boston shaker be sure to share the end result around. The vodka, on top of the already plentiful MIDORI, gives this cocktail an extra kick, but the pineapple juice MIDORIs perfect partner makes for a mellow taste with pleasantly sour undertones.
