The Good Pour aims to help beginner bartenders reduce the stress of their first few bar shifts. Think of it as your friendly guide, not a rulebook, but something to help you feel confident, and ready to find your own rhythm behind the bar by introducing the basics of alcohol, the tools you’ll be using and some classic cocktail recipes alongside recipe cards. After working as a cocktail bartender for the past three years, I wanted to break down the barriers for newcomers in a traditionally gatekept industry. Making bartending’s so-called “secrets” a little less secret.
