13 Steps To Being A World Champion Bartender

    Some tips from the Diageo Reserve World Class, otherwise known as the world series of bartending: smell everything, and wear something ridiculous.

    1. Smell your herbs with great care.

    2. And sniff exotic fruits too.

    3. When in doubt, sniff.

    4. When you're done smelling everything in the market, you may ponder.

    5. Get yourself an excessively long gold spoon.

    6. And other gold mixology tools.

    7. Wear something hip with a deliberate vintage feel: like suspenders!

    8. Take it a step further: pair your suspenders with a short-sleeved denim polka dot shirt.

    9. A small orange bowtie will do, I suppose.

    10. If you MUST, you may wear an ascot.

    11. Ideally, you will pour your drinks dramatically on a beach.

    12. No matter what you do, shake very seriously!

    13. Even if the drink is going to be pink.
