It seems like your contempt for this bartending course has lead to some kind of arrogance on your part. Passing the test, by writing down the expected answers, would have given you more credence when talking down to the examiner/ teachers on your course later on. Behind real bars, the recipes you need to know are: Your way. The bar's way. The customers way. The next customers way. and so on. I have been keeping up with your bartending course posts, very interesting; I am still glad I never went to a bartending school. Cheers! George

Hey Pappy,

Jerry Thomas and Dale DeGroff both have the Tom Collins down as a Shaken drink; and in the article I wrote for a UK Cocktail Magazine (CLASS) I also came down on the side of shaken.

It seems like your contempt for this bartending course has lead to some kind of arrogance on your part. Passing the test, by writing down the expected answers, would have given you more credence when talking down to the examiner/ teachers on your course later on. Behind real bars, the recipes you need to know are:

Your way.
The bar's way.
The customers way.
The next customers way.
and so on.

I have been keeping up with your bartending course posts, very interesting; I am still glad I never went to a bartending school.

Cheers!

George
