How Long Does It Take to Become a Certified Mixologist?
It’s no secret that being a mixologist simply oozes cool. When you become a mixologist, you’re an expert drink maker who knows how to craft every cocktail in the book. You’ll learn fancy tricks with bottles and be able to wow your customers with them. The only problem is, it’ll take a lot of strength and maturity not to flex about your cocktail knowledge when people find out you’re a mixologist!
So, how do we go from the point of having no bar experience to becoming a guru of the brew? You could start by applying for bartending positions, but inevitably get knocked back again and again because you have no bar experience or formal training. Or you could beef up your skills and resume by becoming certified in mixology. And how long does this take?
