Bartender HQ Podcast : Bar Culture, Cocktails and Flair Bartending for Everyone.

Thanks for joining me for episode 5! In this week’s show:

Halloween Menus

I talk about how to create a Halloween cocktail menu for your bar and the pros and cons of bespoke menus vs modified menus, (more here in my article on custom menus the right way!)

I mention the article that has gone completely viral this week on putting together a competition flair routine – Check it out and if you like it, share it!
