bartending skills

Cocktail preparation knowledge

The abilities needed to work behind a bar—mixing drinks, pouring properly, managing multiple orders, and handling customers.

Someone with strong bartending skills knows cocktail recipes, works efficiently under pressure, and reads the room: She's been taking classes to improve her bartending skills.
