Cheekytiki, you're absolutely right. When I worked at Chinawhite in London (which served amazing tropical cocktails) they would hire young, relatively inexperienced bartenders from Australia, Russia, France, Sweden, Brazil, Italy and after a few days(or nights)of training they were turning out first class cocktails. Of course, it helped that those training them had spent a few years at the London Trader Vics and knew exactly what they were doing.
