day one study guide

We’re so happy that you’ve decided to get your hands wet (but hopefully not your computer) in learning the art of mixology.  The Cocktail Camp was founded in 2015 by passionate bartenders in San Francisco and has continued to grow because our curriculum, while often tweaked and constantly evolving, has a strong focus on the key fundamentals that make up a skilled bartender, a delicious cocktail, and a happy environment.  

Some of our graduates have gone on to bartend at some of the world's finest establishments. In contrast, many others have utilized the course to enrich their understanding of mixology, impress their friends, make new acquaintances, and enhance their appreciation for the finer things in life. Use our online certification course to practice your skills during the week so that you'll be fully prepared once you graduate.
