You know how to mix a great drink, or you wouldn"t be bartending. However, a few tips and tricks for mixing perfect cocktails can"t hurt.

1. The Martini: Every bartender knows that there is an art to preparing a great martini. Remember, a true martini is made with gin, but today vodka martinis tend to be the most popular. If you are unsure which one your customer desires, ask. Also, dry martinis tend to be the most popular. To make an exceptional dry martini, and do it with style, try this trick: Instead of adding dry vermouth to the shaker along with the gin or vodka and ice, simply rinse a chilled glass with a bit of vermouth and then pour out the excess. Shake the liquor to chill it, strain it neatly into the glass, and garnish appropriately.

2. Dirty Martini: For a dirty martini, follow the directions above, only substitute olive juice for vermouth. If the customer wants extra olive juice, swish it around in the glass but simply refrain from pouring out the excess.

3. Layered Cocktails: If you new to bartending or haven"t quite mastered the art of layering one liquor on top of another or on top of a mixer (for specialty shots, White Russians, etc.), try using a bar spoon while pouring to keep the different items from mixing together. Simply rest the spoon at an angle and slowly pour the desired liquid down the spoon into the glass.

4. Follow the order of ingredients: In some cases, the order of ingredients is of utmost importance. When creating layered drinks, remember that certain liquids are heavier than others and will sink rather than float. Order of ingredients is also important for other cocktails, such as a Tequila Sunrise. If you don"t put the grenadine in last, you will not achieve the same effect.

5. Muddling Fresh Fruit Cocktails: If you make fresh fruit drinks such as daiquiris, try muddling to get the most flavor and color possible from the fruit.......
