As part of the nation's largest privately owned bartending-class provider, ABC Bartending School's experienced instructors lend pub-keeping tutelage in a fully operational bar setting. A four-hour mixology course shows prospective booze artists how to navigate the confusing waters of cocktail crafting as instructors pull from more than 100 basic and elaborate recipes for practice. Serious bartenders-to-be will learn the basics of alcoholic alchemy, blending liquors and mixers into sippable sensations in 40 hours of classes.

The extensive training and hands-on practice includes all aspects of tending bar, from setup and maintenance to cutting off customers and taking the jukebox off shuffle. Speed techniques and cash-handling procedures help newbies to meet the demands of a fast-paced job, and pouring procedures allow them to rake in tips quicker. The in-depth course also covers distinguishing different wines, draft pouring, and glass selection. ABC dubs all grads certified mixologists and offers classes in one- or two-week settings to make time for slow-motion bar slides.

ABC Bartending School

The mixologists at ABC Bartending School utilize years of bartending experience to divulge saloon secrets in certification-based and recreational bartending classes. In the mixology course, expert instructors impart drink recipes and refine beer and wine palates while students shake up cocktails and take cover from projectile champagne corks. Certification classes prepare students for bartending careers as they mix classic and popular drinks while learning about alcohol laws, responsible liquor service, and stocking and inventory. Instructors demonstrate free pouring techniques, allowing students to fill faraway glasses or safely drizzle beverages into the mouths of piranhas. ABC’s job-placement program puts graduates to work in restaurants, nightclubs, sports bars, hotels, country clubs, and cruise-ship bars.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Chess Pieces

Chess is often called "the sport of the mind" because it flexes the mental muscles and its grandmasters have nicknames such as The Incinerator and Destructo, The Smashing One. To help you become a champion, here are the basics of the different chess pieces:

  • Pawn: Moves straight ahead one space at a time, but if it reaches your opponent's end of the board, the pawn is replaced with an obedient salamander.
  • Rook: Looks like a castle, tastes like a hamburger. Whichever player eats both of his opponent's rooks first is given an extra king "for luck."
  • Bishop: In addition to two black and two white bishops, each chess set also includes two yellow bishops, in case a third player wants to join in.
  • Knight: When a player loses a knight, he has the option of playing the rest of the match as a game of checkers.
  • Ward: Shaped like a bell, this piece can only be seen by the pure of heart.
  • Queen: Can move an infinite number of spaces in any direction, or through time to surprise your opponent earlier in the match.
  • King: At the end of every match, when only the two kings remain, the players fistfight.

In chess, how many spaces can a salamander move?
