It is legal in Michigan for 21-year-olds to be a bartender and sell alcohol to customers. However, bartenders cannot purchase alcohol with false identification and are not allowed to drink on the job. Driving under the influence is also illegal.
Bartenders are allowed to drink on the job
Bartenders who drink on the job are one of the most common reasons they are fired. The rules will vary depending on where you are located, whether it is at a bar, restaurant or craft brewery. In some states, it's illegal for bartenders to drink on the job. This makes it important to know the state's laws and company policies. You could face a fine or be charged with misdemeanors if you are caught with your hands intoxicated while working.
Businesses don't allow employees or customers to drink while working. It can lead to poor performance and other problems. An intoxicated bartender may be less capable of properly pouring drinks and keeping track on customer orders. This could lead to hostile work environments.
The requirements for obtaining a license to bartend
You need to get the right training before you can begin your career as a bartender. Some states require that you attend a bartending school in order to be licensed. But if you live in Michigan, you should not worry - the requirements are relatively straightforward.
A minimum of 18 years old is necessary to get a job as a Michigan bartender. A high school diploma is also required by most employers in the state. However, if you'd like to work in a classy bar or upscale restaurant, you should attend a bartending school.

What drinks blend well together
The best way to make a cocktail is by mixing different spirits together.
The key is to balance and harmonize each spirit by using the right proportions.
This means you should know what makes each spirit great when mixed with other spirits.
You also need to understand how they interact with each other, which flavors are complementary, and which ones clash.
Finally, consider the type of drinker that you wish to appeal to.
If you're looking for an easy-drinking cocktail, go for a classic rum and coke.
If you need something stronger, then a gin-and-tonic is the best choice.
How can I keep my drinks chilled?
Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. This will chill them quickly without diluting the drink.
What is a shaker and how can it help you?
A shaker allows you to combine multiple ingredients. The shaker also comes with a strainer that allows you to strain the mixture. The lid protects the mixture from unwanted odours while it is being shaken.
