The pouring professors at the Texas School of Bartenders lead their charges in hands-on instruction behind fully operational bar stations, pontificating drink recipes and the practical skills to mix them. Each three-hour session begins with an overview of basic drinksmanship vernacular and brand identification, helping students distinguish a bottle of top-shelf vodka from a canning jar of rubbing alcohol. Throughout the remaining two hours, pupils hop behind the bar to practice their free-pouring skills and try their hands in shaking and straining cocktails such as the martini, the manhattan, and the Let's Just Be Friends on the Beach. The instructors also cover basic customer-service interactions, including terminology and human-communication skills, fully preparing aspiring bartenders for their role.
