Texas requires you to have a bartending licence in order for you sell and serve alcohol. This license is available through TABC. In Texas, you can also get a dram shop license.

TABC certification is a Texas Bartending License

Although a TABC certification does not make it a requirement to sell alcohol here in Texas, many employers prefer it. The TABC certification is an excellent way to gain valuable information for your job and stay protected. This course will teach you how responsibly to serve alcohol, how to check IDs, as well as how protect customers from drunk drivers.

Texas has strict alcohol laws. The TABC certification will assure you that all laws and regulations are being followed. Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, (TABC), regulates the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. It also ensures public safety. Be aware of the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC) laws.

TABC certification will allow you to work as a Texas bartender. This certification helps bartenders learn about the state's alcohol sales and consumption regulations. This certification also teaches employees how to prevent minors purchasing alcohol. It also teaches them how to intervene if a customer becomes intoxicated and purchases alcohol.

While you may take the exam more than once, failing the second attempt will require you to retake the entire course.

What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?

An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.

The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.

People added ice to the mix and then they added "Old-Fashioned", because they thought it tasted better.

A Manhattan is also an option. This is another great option. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.

This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.
