Bartender/Manager

Champions Private Night Club
Summerville, SC 1998

I KNOW BARTENDING!

MIXOLOGY: I know the names of drinks and their ingredients (and History) as well as how to mix them in their proper proportions for over fifty drinks; Dating back to the:

• 00-20's The Cuba Libre The Rum and Coke Depression, and Prohibition
• 40's The Kamikazee and World War II
• 60's The Tequila Sunrise Visual Presentation
• 80's The B-52's and layered pouse cafe' drinks 
• 90's Sex and the Schnapps Generation
  

  
  

BEERS AND ALES: I've studied beers and ale's for a total of six months through out my life and know the basics. 

ENOLOGY: I am currently studying the art of WINES and WINE MAKING.  I expect to pursue this interest and learn this trade for the rest of my life. I enjoy sharing the fruits of my studies with anyone that wants something more than an alcoholic beverage.

THE FINER POINTS: A good bartender should always know your county ordinances for drinking, driving and serving as well as useful health tips such as a drinks: Carbohydrates, FATS and Sugars, Calories and a good guess at Biometrics (Alcohol to Body Mass/Weight index) 

I also have the unique ability to keep people from getting too drunk to drive but yet still have a great time!

I like standard naming conventions such as the "Slow, Comfortable Screw (Sloe Gin, Southern Comfort, Screw=Vodka and Enjoy Juice! ;-)

to the Sex on the Beach with Peach Schnaaps  or Vodka!

The COUNTERS I HAVE WORKED: 

• ISLAND BARS: I like Island bars because of the adrenaline rush and the amount of people I can serve with all the the ingredients right at my finger tips. 
• HORSE SHOE BARS:  are excellent when you need to serve food as well with a grill at the back window.
• FRONT FACING BARS are great when you want to spend one on one time with your patrons as well as perform parlor tricks or 
• SHOOTER BARS: Small fast serving sometimes mobile ways to help your patrons quickly get in the mood and start singing, dancing and laughing!
• MARTINI BARS: Perfect if you already have a regular crowd that needs to forget about their daily routines and the stress of life that exists outside your establishment.
