mixologist a form of life

I heard of a guy that said he was a mixologist ,With a bit of dought I asked what made him a mixologist ?
He said ,I have been in the industry for a year and has all the knowledge there is on cocktails and Bartering .
I thought to my self I have been a bartender for 10 years and never called myself a mixologist ,I kept the thought to my self and went home wondering why he came up with that answer .
I went and had a look at what I have done in the past 10 years and finally came to the concussion that I am a mixologist and not the guy that said he had a year of knowledge ,I mean I have done cocktail recipes for clubs,bars,restaurants and even brand names like wybrowa vodka ,absolut,red bull and others (not sure if can give names ).any way this lens is about mixology and not my CV...

Just a word to the laymen,when you think you are a mixologist get behind a bar and learn more don't just think you are a mixologist.

I hope you enjoy my lens... don't for get to check out my other lenses on the world of bartending .

The Jewel of cocktails

and there inventors

Okay I must say that the classic cocktails are still the best resource to have,but around the world bartenders and mixologists have come up with some excellent cocktails for every taste and sent ,the classics that are asked for,and if the bartender knows how to make them, the classic cocktails still stand the test of time or should I say taste of times.
This is about some of the most famous cocktails and mixologists that have become famous or by the recipe they invented or by becoming famous behind the bar, competitions and word of mouth (other bartenders).

Enjoy....

Laidies and gentalmen worlds most known

dry Martini

Aound this drink there are a lot of diffrent stories ,the first one I heard was about 7 years ago when a fellow bartender came to me and asked if I knew the history of the dry martini ,I had no idea and he than said that he had read in a book that it was invented by an Italian bartender called Martin(not sure on the name ) and that some king that went to his bar one day lernt of the dink and that is when it got its name,interesting story but being a dry martini there must be more to it so I went about doing some research and found that the name could also com from the town Martinez,calafornia to honor the town and that the bartender that invented such a prestige cocktail was Julio Richelieu which dates back to the 1800s so the many stories around taking the prestigious pride of this well known cocktail I am sure one day the truth will come out ...

Cosmopolitan

Once again the story behind this cocktails is a legend some that the cocktails was was invented by two bartenders in two different places talk about the law of attraction,traveling around the USA becoming very popular,legend has it that in the 70s was when it got its fame .
With the series sex and the city the cosmopolitan had a major come back but this time world wide even though it was popular at the time.

once again will the truth be revealed

Tom Collins

What a beauty this cocktail has been around for ages ,when a the great tom collins hoax came around in 1874 ,two years later Jerry Thomas released the bartenders guide in 1876 where tom Collins had it first record on paper .
But since cocktails are invented in bars where we all know that after a few the truth and the reality become more colorful and its a place where stories are started and told ,some confusion is always to arise ,In 1891 an article was printed in Europe claiming that the cocktail originated from England and the the creator was named John Collins still some confusion but hey we are talking about Booze here

Once again will the real truth reveal its self ...

    I think you cross the "Moxologist" line when you stop using mixers and do most drinks from scratch. Bartender is always better than beer tender.
