BASIC MIXOLOGY
Eben Freeman, the mixologist who used to work at WD50 and who is now part of Michael White's Altamarea Group, believes that mixology, even at its finest, is very simple and it starts by being able to group cocktails into simple families. For example: sours, modified sours, collins, modified collins, tiki drinks, all-spirit cocktails and sparkling cocktails.
Freeman believes that being a good mixologist involves having attention to detail, ability to copy those who have proven to be successful in their methods and setting up in a way that reflects your own way of working. A good bartender must put off this illusion that he has an incredibly easy job by focusing on small details and by constantly having a continuous silent dialogue in his head.
