MIXOLOGIST ART
Understanding the difference between a bartender and a mixologist definately help us to dive more into the mixologist works of art. We saw so many textures and colors and that open new set of ideas in our head to represent each drink and cocktail in their own unique way.
“The term Mixologist itself.”
The term itself dates back to the 1800s but, in modern usage, it tends to signify the art and theater of expertly prepared cocktails. A bartender, on the other hand, is a bar professional whose focus is on hospitality as well as drinks.
DEVOTED
“If you think about the word mixology as an umbrella for ‘the study of cocktails,’ then a mixologist is someone who is devoted to that study. A bartender is someone that works and tends to guests behind a bar. A bartender can be a mixologist, but a mixologist doesn’t necessarily need to be a bartender. This is a volatile subject in the bar community because it was a term created to give the bartender career some sort of social value.
INTENT
A mixologist has the intent that everything they put out is measured by the quality and taste. A bartender, on the other hand, is measured by the quantity of their output and how satisfied the guest or customer is by the service delivery. a mixologist does not need to concern himself with the delivery of service.
THE MIXOLOGIST
- Designs cocktails that are seasonal and / or aligned with the style of the establishment
- Prepares any house-made syrups, tinctures, bitters, or other ingredients that a bartender will need for service
- Selects ingredients behind the bar that are high quality and again, aligned with the bar or restaurant.
- Does his or her work before the guests arrive.
Volatile Subject
This is a volatile subject in the bar community because it was a term created to give the bartender career some sort of social value.
It is believed that the word mixologist was introduced to elevate the profession and only in the corporate world can the term mixologist make sense especially if the person works in a corporate liquor company, but if he were to work or function in a bar. Primarily, a mixologist serves drinks; bartenders serve people.
