What You Will Learn
Join Corrinne Walenda for a lively review of the best bar designs used by master mixologists and how you can incorporate these theories into your design plans for the modern home bartender. Equipment for ice, garnishes, mixers and spirits (wine and beer too) will be examined. Not only will you learn the ideal layout for a home bar, but you will also gain an understanding of current trends in cocktails and perhaps some new drinks recipes too.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize and describe restaurant bar design concepts and how they can be employed in a client’s entertaining space, indoors or outside, for engaging cocktail parties.
- Identify bartender ergonomic standards and mise-en-place and apply them to modern cocktail creations and the design of a client’s home bar.
- Specify the ideal refrigeration equipment, including accessories, finishes and door styles to achieve clients’ entertaining needs and wants for their home bartender mixology experiments, informal gatherings and fun, interactive cocktail parties.
