During the Mixology 101 four-hour course, muddlers and shakers learn how to concoct about 200 of the most popular drinks, including martinis, sours, and shots.

Mixology 101 courses are offered Mondays–Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The course is designed to prepare students for employment within the industry, offering lifelong job-placement assistance to graduates at venues that include casinos, nightclubs, and book-club meetings.

About Ace Bartending
At Ace Bartending's 40-foot bar, ice clinks against glasses and prospective mixologists chatter during hands-on courses. Instructors wax informational about the history and production of liquor before outlining state and municipal legal requirements for serving alcohol or distributing liquor to horses. As students progress, they migrate to eight functional bartending stations that feature working carbon dioxide lines, and lessons feed hungry brains tidbits of information on the use of glassware and garnishes to craft a beverage with fitting aesthetic appeal. The curriculum bounds across a bubbling, colorful rainbow of 200 different drinks and recipes.
In addition to hands-on demonstrations and role-playing exercises, courses hand down lessons on how to land a job as a bartender and give tips for job interviews. The classroom's walls, like those of a real bar, are crowded with colorful bottles, lit by crackling neon beer signs, and held together by flyers for bands seeking bassists.
