Welcome. Thank you for joining us at BartenderHQ.com!
As promised, here’s your eBook with 10 killer drinks that I’ve personally served and have been key to building my reputation.
It’s a reputation that got me recognised by bartenders around the UK who I’d never met before. It’s a reputation which got my resume featured in a book about making money bartending and a
reputation which got me a job opening one of the most luxurious hotels in the world on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
It would be easy to write this book and fill it with exotic ingredients that are found in the most premium bars in the world, but I want these to be drinks you can use right away to make your reputation in almost any bar in the world!
You may know some of these drinks already, you may not, but these are the drinks I have made the most, with the best reactions, exactly the way I have made them.
I’d love to hear how these go for you, or if you have a great version of your own - shoot me an email over to:
Most of all, have fun with these, make them with passion and be the best bartender you can! Keep checking BartenderHQ.com for the latest recipes and tips on making the best cocktails possible.
Talk to you soon! David.
